Living in North Carolina, I have seen the effects of many hurricanes, but nothing quite like this........ near Asheville.

Thats tragedy; my position on this and mostly everything remains the same. Lets invest in infrastructure and water management. Instead we ( the u.s. national budget) spends trillions on war investments in other countries. If we improved infrastructure and urban\planning these things wouldnt happen as drastically.
And yet America keeps buying tanks.
