Are hurricanes rare in those areas? Is the only thing that makes sense to me seeing all those wood houses.
Hurricane don’t usually go straight at the panhandle. They usually cross over the main part of Florida and lose a lot of strength.

Or it it’s that Alabama/Mississippi line and Georgia gets the outer bands

that and the dams were completely overpowered. These places are within the smokies and appalachain mountain ranges so when the rain falls its only has one place to go, and if the rivers are already full, the landscape becomes a river.

Asheville is completely cut off…I-40 between TN and NC is completely washed out too…

Sh*t is sad. It’s a poor impoverished area already. They don’t have the resources to deal with this. They talking about entire towns have been washed away.

We should've been better prepared for this at both the state and federal level
there should be something way better than FEMA.
We have the technology to determine the strength of a storm well ahead of it landing.

So that entire period prior to the storm hitting should've been spent mobilizing and focusing on the most vulnerable populations.

It makes no sense that we can muster up billions in foreign aid when those same billions could've been
used to mobilize tens of thousands as a preventative measure.

It all feels way to reactionary in this high-tech age.
