I can't help but wonder how all these hurricanes might cause some geologic activity due to the appalachian limstone and caves etc. over the next several months. At least it will clear out any caches.

The water will definitely flush out the cave systems. However, the rupture zones for faults is far deeper within the crust than what the water will effect.
