I put a red dot on my house, on the far right. We are on high ground, such as that is, here. Elevation 14'.

I doubt very much that it's insured, it was looking pretty rough there by the end.

lol.. is this sarcasm or do you actually like this? In Cleveland, I greatly dislike now until May. My body craves sunshine and it seemingly disappears for 90% of the foreseeable future.
This summer has had alot of overcast,gloomy humid days w/o rain we are way below seasonal average. Cindy likes to tan but couldn't believe how hot it got w/o the sun.Seems like it hangs around to - we use to get moderate rainfall for a day or two on and off then sunshine now it seems to spritz and spit for like 4 days then god knows what

In Cincy, it was Jan-March I loathed.  I was used to March being "springlike", and it never was there.  Now it is here, again.

July and August were pretty bad there as well.

How does climate change impact hurricanes like Helene? (thehill.com)

But if the planet warms up by about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above preindustrial levels, a hurricane’s maximum wind speeds could increase by about 5 percent, according to Tom Knutson, a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab.

Noting the increase in wind speeds, earlier this year scientists suggested adding a Category 6 to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, saying that the currently used categories 1 through 5 are “inadequate” as hurricanes continue to intensify.

We'll be very fortunate if the measured warming stays at 2°C, we're really headed to worse, and the things being done are pretty obviously not doing much to make it better.

Some realism would be nice in all of this, but that would encourage folks to throw up their hands and stop throwing money at it as much.

I'm seeing photos of western NC and eastern TN that are horrendous.  I know some of these areas pretty well, and I can't imagine some places being under that much water, and I-40 is washed out.  Someone claimed Asheville is entirely isolated by ground travel, and western NC is "closed".  This one was bad (duh) with the rain.  A couple of dams are reportedly nearing failure.  Below is a hospital with folks isolated on the roof.

Before below and after standing on I-40, looking down at US 74 with the Blue Ridge Parkway bridge in the distance. Asheville, NC.
