Inner, this is and was predicted to be extremely slow moving.
Today, in Durham NC (2 h 30 min (157.2 mi) from the coast, ie. Wilmington) are waking up to heavy rains and tornado warnings. The creeks and rivers rose quickly and with no warning....cars up up to past their wheel wells with street flooding in some places.
That's pretty close to 200 miles inland.
So, can't really agree with you. Now, if it was a quicker weather event, or a quick tornado that hit NC and then the weather cleared up (as is often the case w/tornadoes), I would agree w/you.
BTW, I was looking at photos of New Bern. A ton of water and debris in the streets, but at least the trees and houses are "still there". Tornado I experienced, all that was GONE. no trees, houses gone, all you saw was the cement slabs stuff was originally built on.
All weather events are different. Some start out extreme and get bettter. Some start out mild and then something happens to make them worse
