How does a region that is nearly 500 miles from the Gulf become devastated by flooding?
The National Climatic Data Center is a federal office that maintains the world's largest climate data archive and provides historical perspective to put present-day weather conditions and natural disasters into context in a warming world due to climate change.Unfortunately, the National Climatic Data Center is based in Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville, a city in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, is the epicenter of catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Helene that has played out over the last week. The climate data facility is inoperable because water and electricity services in the region have entirely broken down due to flooding.
