“It's 250 miles inland! What do you mean it was hit by a hurricane?”
I've always thought of Brevard [1] as a place safe from natural disasters, nestled as it is in the Appalachian Mountains [2]. It's not along a fault line so no earthquakes … oh wait a second … there is a fault line nearby [3]. But still, it's too far inland for anything horrible like a hurricane to worry about … oh … wait a second … Hurricane Helene is causing issues in the area [4].
Perhaps it's not as safe from natural disasters as I once thought it was.
Sigh.
