I would say the news does an amazing job of making every disaster look like it devastates a much larger area than it does. Every hurricane, the news makes it look like Florida from Key West to Pensacola has been wiped off the map. The truth is the devastation can be large parts of multiple cities.. but no storm has ever 'knocked a whole city down.'
Notice how they never tell you at what altitude hurricane wind speed are being reported from. This pisses me off to no end.
I will be listening to a weather guy saying max sustained winds (1 minute avg peak. I Europe the use 10 min average) is 130 mph. I look at wind speed measured by satellite at different altitudes, and only see the speed they are reporting at, say 10,000 feet. 10 meters above ground may be no more that 70.
Here is a good site. Go to hurricane, click on windspeed, look at different altitudes. (If all tabs don't show resize screen)

Helene had a wide path for its Cat 4 size. I was wondering if some HAARP techie could steer it to not only hit GOP strongholds, but avoid liberal minded college campuses. Just thinking out loud.
I know this.. if you have water in the bathtub and you open the drain, the drain swirl gets much bigger and faster if you stir it with your hands.. even if you just slightly twirl it the drain swirl gets much larger..
Sports ball must continue at all costs.
The devastation happened in very localized mountainous areas. Think about it. You have mountains and valleys. Where do most of the people live? In the valley. Where does all of the water end up? In the valley. You dont have football stadiums and college campuses where the worst devastation took place. 99% of Tennessee and NC were fine.
And we still havent heard from my cousin. Pray for her soul please.
On my prayer list.
Games were played in the following areas (so you don't need to click the links:
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!
The key thing is to know what actually happened.
My theory is a dam failure (caused by huricane/rain or intentional), because most of the videos we see are from the areas near the river.

I saw somewhere a simple topographic map showing the western Appalachian mountains and the affected areas to the east. The rain falling on the mountains flowed eastward through all the valleys and flooded the towns. It made perfect sense. Also, remember, the are already had been saturated with rain for three days, and so when the winds blew, the trees were easily pushed over.
