      Asheville isn’t even prone to hurricanes, it’s inland in the mountains, people literally moved there from Louisiana and Florida on the premise it would be safer, but… Post-global warming you can even get cyclones on the great lakes (happened in '96) and the Southwest desert can get monsoons… Waterproof electronics bunkers, maybe?

        So far, things seem to be prety decent where I’m at in Utah, but we do have the looming risk of “the big one” Earthquake. But to be fair, that has a pretty high chance of causing Yellowstone to erupt, which would probably kill everyone on the planet, so I guess I prefer a quicker death to starvation.

        But yeah, Ashville is way in there, no wonder he was surprised.

            Huh, I thought it would be bigger than that, what with how massive it is and how much ash would go up into the sky.

            Looks like I would probably survive, but my house wouldn’t, and getting out would royally suck because it would wreck the air intake for my car. But I could probably make it out.

      He lives in western North Carolina, definitely not an area prone to hurricanes.
