However, the effects of Hurricane Helene have challenged that perception, demonstrating that even regions previously considered safe are not immune to the growing threats of severe weather events. The storm's impact on Asheville highlights the increasing unpredictability of climate change, reminding communities that no location is fully protected from natural disasters.
