@lathanf-5432 6 часов назад

Yes- many years. They are saying this is just as bad as Katrina all over the Western half of North Carolina. They didn't mention how severe the mudslides have been and the homes that have literally slid off mountains and floated down rivers with people trapped inside. Hundreds of helicopter rescues with thousands. More waiting to be rescued. Many towns are completely gone. It is so devastating in the entire Western half of the state and also Eastern Tennessee. So much was not mentioned in this story. There is no gas, no power, no food, no water in most of these towns and most towns were completely underwater. Please pray for all of these communities and our state😢

@jacksonmoore5696 5 часов назад

Because it affected the mountain regions the worst, when rain bearing clouds are pushed higher into the atmosphere by mountains it causes that moisture to condense into a larger droplets thus the cloud produces more rain (that's why you see pictures of mountains in Arizona and stuff like that where the mountains are completely covered in Forest but the lowlands are dry and barren) and as a result the rainfall .n flooding in the mountains was worse then what it was elsewhere not to mention the communities are just not prepared for a rain like this and there are mountains so people are even more concentrated in low-lying areas than a normal situations
