I dont know, its not like hurricanes happen never.
They get hit every year down there.
These were much more destructive than normal, though.
reply
They live there knowing that is a risk.
It has always been a risk.
Just like people in the west live in a desert.
People in the north live in the snow.
People in the south live near the water.

Not the mountains of North Carolina. That is why the death toll is so bad there was no evacuation order and only some lucky people received warnings at all. Most people where stuck by the time it got bad with roads washing out completely.

I realize it isnt normal for them, but they just watched it come.
Its not like the storm hit them out of nowhere.
reply
Yes, they have been hit by hurricanes but nowhere near the damage that occurred ever did. If it was so bad and everyone knew it the government would have ordered evacuations but no one thought it would be that bad that far inland. So no one left I mean you in the mountains the government is saying it will be fine why would you leave?
reply
Maybe because the government isnt right?
Its just common sense.
If you worried any bit, you should have moved up a bit.
Instead, they watched everything wash out in front of them.
People need to nut up.
Sure, but realized unemployment effects will be driven by realized hurricane severity.

RIP to Trop Roof... I wonder if they end up not replacing it and going open aired for the season and just speed up building the new stadium they are supposed to move into by 2028.
