Going to school in a hurricane-prone state? That sounds like a great idea!
Seriously I refuse to live anywhere that wouldn't remain well above sea level even if you melted every ice crystal on earth. If the universe wants to natural disaster me to death it's gonna have to go the extra million miles and drop an asteroid on me.
As the name of the school implies, it’s in the Appalachian mountains…so hundreds of miles from the sea?
Not exactly hurricane territory.
Helene ended up around the southern tip of Illinois and Indiana so uh, yeah, everything from the Gulf to one state south of the Great lakes is hurricane territory now.
Well I guess we can't go to universities in the eastern half of the US. And not in the middle either (tornadoes), and not in the west either (wildfires). Should we all move to Wyoming? This Lemming seems to know what's best for us 340 million Americans. Surely we can all fit in Wyoming. It'll be a glorious utopia!
Maybe not before but it is now
