     “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.
