“If you think you're safe from #climatechange, consider that Asheville, NC -a city nearly 300 miles from the nearest coastline at an elev. of 2,134 ft just got wiped out by a hurricane.”
-B Friedman
“The moisture transport into the NC mtns was equivalent to most extreme atmospheric river you'd see on the W Coast X 3.”
-R Maie
Asheville: a pop. of. ~100K, & many areas are devastated. We must care for the victims, & amplify & use this disaster as evidence to vigorously tackle the #climatecrisis.
