[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W NC is primarily esp in Asheville - towns in valleys, located in the mountains.  Their roads are not the best and it's a lot of rural communities.

With Helene approaching as a Cat4 hurricane, can't one deduce:
1. As mountain environments cause more rain to fall because they hold moisture in the air, isn't the amount of rain from Helene going to be earth shattering?
2. After days of rain already, the towns would be set up for instability - with more rain per above - wouldn't it be plausible for towns to be wiped out?
3. Near rivers, flooding is almost 10000% to be catastrophic - why would anyone think of mandatory evac?
4. Whether you choose to evacuate or not, your town is likely going to be devastated based on the above - isn't this accurate?

Why wasn't this message clear before Helene went through?  I get why some residents didn't realize it but as this is pretty all scientific fact, why didn't the officials acknowledge it?  It's as if everyone is so surprised by this but I mean, you knew the rains would be nuts and after days of bad rains already, living in mountains and next to rivers, hmmm, what might be worst case scenario??  Is it really hindsight?[/quote]

You seriously think this way? Do you not realize the error in your "logic" or does your crystal ball actually work?[/quote]
