“Western North Carolina is destroyed. Hell on earth. I spent last night chainsawing fallen logs on a mountain so people could get in. Before that we were hunting for survivors in (town) and delivering water to the fire department. Got a family out today…”

What an absurd take. Are you really so ignorant that you think it practical to evacuate the entire southeast?
Or are you being deliberately incendiary with this comment? Have to wonder.
Exactly. You can't evac an entire state, or group of states.
I went through one of these storms several years ago. My conclusion was that we need to build houses that can better withstand these storms so that people are better able to shelter in place - low, single-story, reinforced concrete or cinderblock construction with roll-down metal shutters would survive much better than the sticks we use to build houses now.
People in a storm surge area would still have to leave, but that is manageable. Everyone else being able to shelter in place, and help each other, would make this a lot easier to deal with.
