Please note where Asheville, NC is on this map. Please note that it is at 3000+ feet elevation. Please explain to me where the fuck is far enough inland that you'll care. @luxalptraum.com you put this on my timeline so same question.

"climate nerd" The fucking ignorance and arrogance

For many Appalachia folks, land and home are the only wealth they have.

JFC, the number of people I've seen saying you need to check if a property is in a flood zone before you buy and, my friends, I can tell you from experience that the Iowa Flood of 2008 did not give a shit if your house was in a flood zone. Everyone got fucked in that flood.

We are at the point where it will be hard to predict where exactly weather and flooding will hit. Remember, we only have 150 years or so of good records in any case, and those are useless in the face of climate change. We are all vulnerable now. All bets are off. 1000 year rain every 10 years now? 🤷‍♀️

since they deleted, here's the post. removed their name so they don't get more dogpiled than they already are

People really using imaginary lines to decide who deserves humanity again, huh? 🙄

In 2013 many homes and businesses in Manitou Springs, Colorado were damaged by flooding after the Waldo Canyon fire. I guess 7000+ feet in elevation won't work for those ghouls either.

My brother and his wife live in Boone. Like seriously in the mountains. Nowhere near where a hurricane ever goes. We haven't been able to reach them and there's been so much flooding in Boone. Just hoping they're fine and it's just the cell towers being down/overwhelmed.

“people in the mountain towns of western North Carolina have homes that are too large and own too many possessions” is certainly a take

I mean Asheville is in the mountains 300 miles from a sea.
