The future is even more frightening when you look at data on dam health in the US.

Yup. I’m from NC–we’re used to the coast getting pummelled by hurricanes, but never in a million years would I have expected a hurricane to devastate the mountains like this. Western NC is full of wonderful towns, natural beauty, and great folks–Asheville especially is a funky, artsy gem of a place. My heart breaks for this region.
