PartyBullshiitBeech and sugar got less rainfall than Maggie, Wayne’s and Henderson based off the numbers being reported. They’re also not as low lying as the for-mentioned. I’m going off the same things you are, locals reporting conditions and there just hasn’t been anywhere near the numbers of deaths you’re talking about anywhere across NC. Again I’m talking double the reported deaths of the entire storm just in one city alone. Even a single death is horrible and saddening across the board. Only time will tell where everything ends up. Just as someone who lives who lives
directly in these storms wake I know exactly how people conflate things in the chaos of the moment and in the end things seem to be much less than than are. I would be beyond shocked if 200+ people died in one city alone. Would also be beyond shocked if double the amount of people died in one state as the entire storm has claimed so far acoss 4 states. So far I believe its 80 People total
in NC.
SchizoSkier101 degree fever fuckin me up rn. Worst part is i still have to go to class cuz I got firefighter class next week and gonna miss a week of school. Now I’m just going to class in a mask looking like a dork
Farmville420Your first point is kind of absurdly wrong. Rainfall is not directly related to water surface elevation at all, and I could totally go into why that is since I write drainage reports as a career but I would like you to at least try and figure out why that is not the case on your own before I explain it to you like a toddler. Key factors include, as Drew stated, topographical features. Soil classification and time of concentration also play a huge role. A death can only be confirmed when the body is identified, and they can't identify bodies they have not found yet. Stop this shit man, you're out of your depth and this is a really weird fight to pick right now.
PartyBullshiitExcept the locations I was mentioning were hit harder than beech and sugar. Those are just facts. Maybe you need to research the locations we’re talking about before chiming in. You’re clearly out of your depth on this one.
Farmville420Maybe this historical example can help you use that ape-like brain of yours to think a little more critically:
https://www.weather.gov/nerfc/hf_march_1936#:~:text=In%20fact%2C%20at%20many%20locations,Connecticut%20River%20was%20severely%20impacted.
The worst flood in my States history was because of heavy rainfall 4 hours away. You should stick to shipping logistics and leave actual science to people who study these things for a living.
Again, I can explain in depth why, but you also don't seem to care about that, and this article might be too long and a little too technical. I'll try to find a different article that's a little more pedestrian friendly if this one is too confusing, or I can just sit down and explain hydrology to you.

the locations I’m talking about were the actual hardest hit areas in NC. You seem to be missing those facts. I’m not just talking total rain fall I’m talking actual flooding and actual damage. Do a little research before you try and pretend to know what you’re talking about.
Farmville420Article literally just says rainfall totals, missed my point completely, I had a feeling you wouldn't understand so I'm done trying with you. Sorry man, hate to be a dick but like I said earlier you're way out of your depth.
PartyBullshiitArticle literally says the areas with the most flooding. You do realize flooding is what’s causing the most damage and deaths in NC correct? It wasn’t wind. You do understand it was western NC with the most damage correct? Maybe look on a map and check out where these locations are and then check out where sugar and beech are. Or maybe just do any basic google search on what parts of NC have the most damage currently. You literally have zero clue what you’re talking about and it shows. It’s fun you’re trying to sound smart but you’re way out of your depth on this one.

Farmville420Stop pinging me I'm not going to try and educate someone who is not willing to learn. All I said was "rainfall =/= how bad the flooding was" and you for some reason keep digging this hole and not listening for whatever reason. DNI baby do NOT interact!
VTshredder69Should i eat these small blue pills someone gave me with stars imprinted on them?
BallClapperReady to bomb my Spanish quiz. Wish me luck.

PartyBullshiitLearn to read kid. I’m saying the literal exact opposite. Death tolls are being reported as 200 TOTAL at the moment. He’s saying now double that when no one is reporting such numbers. I’m saying I believe the numbers being reported currently. Not hyperbole being claimed by random people. Go back to sleep.
ReturnToMonkeyI don't really care too much, I just want to attend the best flight schools on earth. Would be sick to learn helis but also awesome to fly c-17 or anything in between

Rock_InhabitantIt is genuinely sad seeing some senile florida cuck arguing about some shit he doesn’t know anything about to a bunch of teenagers on some podunk fuckin ski forum. Do you seriously not have a single better thing to do? Like not even one?
CeleryHoly shit dude give it up. Why does it matter to you. People died and you're arguing about it because of your incessant need to be correct. Find some other part of life to project your insecurities on, not one that affected real people and is a real issue. Go edge yourself to your moments and drink another ipa you fat fuck
MichiganCatFartGo tigers
PartyBullshiitIt matters to me because I actually have a home there you dumb fuck. I actually have friends who are currently living in our place because there’s was wiped away. I have a vested interest in the community where I contribute financially and friends have lost loved ones. What are YOU actually doing to help the community there? Absolutely jack shit. Go be an ignorant fuck as always you fucking loser.

CeleryThere's unfortunately nothing that I can do to help because I'm not in a financial or physical position. You know what I'm not doing? Arguing with a person who's away from his home over statistics. What if you were sympathetic to someone facing the same struggles and worries as you rather than starting arguments for no reason?
Thegenericskierfrom what im hearing is that my home town has essentially been deleted, cell tower is split in 2, main water line has been destroyed, just about every single road has been destroyed to an almost inoperable level, power doesn't look like it is going to come back on for a while, reports of bodies floating in overflowed areas, no one has a clue when internet will be back to most places, food and water are becoming scarce. this is also a very rural area so it is even harder to get resources. most of my friends have fled the area with some staying to help rebuild roads and aide in recovery. all of my friends and family seem to be doing fine but avery county will not recover any time soon. Also read that more than 750 of the WNC dams were graded D and 2300 were high hazard and are significantly prone to failure given catastrophic weather

PartyBullshiitHaving a conversation on a chat forum with someone who’s dealing with similar things as me isn’t arguing. I never called him any name or tried to belittle him. Didn’t put him down in anyway or trivialize what he’s dealing with. Just because I stated what the numbers being reported are doesn’t mean it’s an argument. If you have such a huge fucking problem with what I post use the block function and problem solved. That’s what it’s there for.
ReturnToMonkeyIt's because The Zuck fears the potential power of unrestricted Jems
