Global Temperature Trends From 2500BC to 2040AD:

Hurricane Helene demolished the notion there are places on Earth immune from climate change — an already shaky premise that was further discredited by widespread damage to Asheville, North Carolina, a so-called climate haven.
Even so, experts say climate is a growing factor in many people’s relocation decisions. And some places do have lower comparative risks depending on the type of disaster. That can — and should — influence their decisions on where to move, they say.
“There's no such thing as a climate haven,” said Jesse Keenan, a professor of sustainable real estate and urban planning at Tulane University. “But what has happened is that various people, including myself, have identified cities where people are moving to, where consumer preferences are shaping the demand for places.”
“Everyone has been asking about Asheville as a climate haven,” said Kathie Dello, North Carolina’s state climatologist. “We’ve never really agreed with that. There’s always been a risk of flooding and fire.”
While climate havens may be a myth, Keenan said his work has highlighted the fact that some cities around the U.S. are becoming climate “receiving zones” — places where some people are choosing to move, in part, for climate-related reasons.
Asheville is among them, he said.

Actually there was heavy flooding in 1916 when two tropical cyclones came up into this area. 24hr rainfall totals exceeded 20 inches in the Black Mountains of NC.

You nailed it solid.
Hurricane winds and tropical storm rains could hit Vermont in 1938 and 1927. Why assume anywhere is safe?
Sure, if you go further west hurricanes may not get you, but there are always tornadoes.
Romans 1:25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
I’m positive that it is a pseudo scientific piece of garbage where science is in the name only, and that all who contribute with the articles that appear within it are drive by agenda, not science.
Camille nearly demolished my grandparents' house on the Mississippi coast, so my parents were preoccupied with dealing with that at the time - but I remember the weatherman talking about the destruction the storm caused as it finally turned eastward toward the Atlantic, as most storms that hit the Gulf Coast eventually do.
I guess none of that matters, now that we are unbound from what has been.
...it dropped a truly enormous amount of rain—more than 18 inches across swathes of western North Carolina, with three-day totals... well above 20 inches at multiple stations. For context, a three-day-long precipitation event in Asheville, N.C., the largest city in the most-affected region, is considered to be a once-in-1,000-year occurrence if it produces 8.4 inches of rain. (A once-in-1,000-year flood is one that has a 0.1 chance of happening in any given year.)...Here is a link to the article on archive.ph:
The only place that can endure that sort of rainfall without serious consequences is the ocean...
The Earth has been much warmer in the distant past.
The Earth has been much cooler in the distant past.
The Earth has been in a warming trend for at least 12,000 years. Ever since the end of the last ice age.
But, now we are supposed to be in a panic about a rise of 0.5 to 2.0 degrees C.
And we are supposed to blame this rise on a change in the make up of the atmosphere trace gas CO2 which has gone for 0.03 to 0.04 percent of the atmosphere.
Sorry I just don’t think I can manage to suspend my disbelief enough to get excited about this Climate Change thingy.
Maybe I am just too rational
Or maybe I have just watched too many Hollywood disaster movies and recognize a familiar plot.
Yep, it’s a scheme to gain more power which equates to more control over the masses.

I was reminded of this when Biden said you’re brain dead if you don’t believe in global warning.
Man, I despise these people.

The dip of the geological formation that you see in the images, is the basin of an ancient stream - the valley between ancient ridges that are estmated to have been much higher than 10,000 feet. (Possibly as high as 65,000 feet.)
The peaks of those ancient ridges (now long gone) were worn down by rain . . . and washed out to sea, forming the Atlantic step off the east coast.
Info is available at the roadside stop. Worth a visit, IMHO..
