Exactly the point. So massive damage, identified by human mistakes, will now create the serious damage.

Pennsylvania required retention basins. What well understood engineering was finally appreciated even by the naive. Does NC have that always required planning?

SC apparently got off easy. Only serious flooding may have already been on the Santee River. Nothing is exceeding flood stage.

NC will probably have most problems from west of Charlotte downriver to Cape Fear. All along the state's south side. NC got off easy. Worst rivers apparently are rising only to just above flood stage.

First Charlotte gets harmed by wacko extremist Trump supporters. Next year, the weather. In both cases, it could have been much worse.
