    It isn’t so much that the mountains flooded.

    They’ve flooded before.

    It’s how badly they’ve flooded. We may mot ge getting extra storms from climate change, but it certainly can make the existing storms worse.

    IMO that’s what we’re seeing more of. From straight line winds being more damaging, to storm systems that might only have a couple tornados to now having a dozen.

      Yup, also south Georgia historically gets missed by most hurricanes. Now that area has been hit by two in a matter of weeks. These are not coastal areas but 100+miles from the coast.

        Yeah, everyone I was talking to about it was very confused why I was worried about a hurricane at my location.
