Going to school in a hurricane-prone state? That sounds like a great idea!
Seriously I refuse to live anywhere that wouldn’t remain well above sea level even if you melted every ice crystal on earth. If the universe wants to natural disaster me to death it’s gonna have to go the extra million miles and drop an asteroid on me.
If a 400 sq mi area gets 2 ft of rain and there’s a low valley area surrounded mostly by mountains, the water will drain down the mountainsides to the valley. It’s like a big bowl. The water that settles in the valley will be more than 2 ft because of the rest of the runoff from even higher elevations

Places thousands of feet above sea level found themselves under deep water after this storm.
Boone is 3300 feet above sea level, in fact.
Not going to lie, struggling with the “how” on this one. Stationary water anyway.

As the name of the school implies, it’s in the Appalachian mountains…so hundreds of miles from the sea?
Not exactly hurricane territory.
