There were warnings for Georgia and the southern Appalachia, but the storm moved so much faster at the end and carried so much water inland. The ability to hold more water in the atmosphere has been an ongoing concern from climate scientists, and this is a clear example of how it can lead to disaster.

This bundled with droughts that cause the ground to not be able to absorb the water, causing serious flash floods, is just a start. I'm guessing in the next ten years, we'll see this happening more and more each year for inland areas
