Plain and simple, this was climate change. North Carolina has had record rain fall this year. Also the hottest summer on record beating out 2023.
Plus side is we are expanding highways and building a lot more houses. Plus we are getting a Buc-ees, so at least we will have cold drinks while we fry and drown.

But dismantling NOAA means the data that proves this will be paywalled and beholden to private ownership, so skewed... So the plan to combat your line of reasoning is already in motion. They just need enough Americans to fall for their candidate.
Yeah, most people don't care bc it's the "frog and boiling water" tale. Hell, NOAA can't even build an app due to corporates and capitalism.
“Plus we are getting a Buc-ees,” Oh hell yeah now we’re talking!!! “..so at least we will have cold drinks while we fry and drown.” Ah fuck!
What?!? You're telling me Hurricanes in Tennessee aren't normal?
Yeah that is always a concern on a mountain. Volcano and hurricane insurance is a must.
Where is Buc-ees going in?
Mebane, NC
Passed unanimously. I look forward to future investigations by local news outlets. I'm sure it was on the up and up.
