Games were played in the following areas (so you don't need to click the links:
Kennesaw, GA (Kennesaw State) (Roughly northwest of Atlanta by about 25-30 miles.)
Athens, GA (University of Georgia) (Roughly eastnortheast of Atlanta by about 60 miles.)
Columbia, SC (University of South Carolina) (Roughly northeast of Atlanta by about 215 miles.)
Tallahassee, FL (Florida State) (near where the hurricane made landfall)
Raleigh, NC (NC State) (Roughly 250 miles east of Asheville, NC)
Chapel Hill, NC (University of North Carolina) (Roughly 223 miles east of Asheville, NC)
Charlottesville, VA (University of Virginia) Roughly 350 miles northeast of Asheville, NC and 74 miles northwest of Richmond, VA)
I guess the major question is why residents in the flooded areas of North Carolina weren't evacuated to places like Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill while flooded areas of Tennessee weren't evacuated to the Nashville area? The government knows from past experiences that floods take place when hurricanes and tropical storms pass over mountains.
It was fine in most of NC the day after Helene passed through. Raleigh and Chapel Hill? No problem, they would have had to probably sweep up some leaves, that's all

Great point!
