Thx for posting...never knew about that prior flood. The damage caused then with only a fraction of the population density is also telling.And yet they knew better. In 2015 the local paper in Asheville was recounting the 1916 storm and flooding and asking whether it could happen again. They had a whole event to talk about it because it was inevitable.
