Described as “the worst in recorded history,” the heavy rains “drenched the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.” The Newspaper in Greenville, Tennessee, wrote, “Reports are coming in slowly from the county, but so far, the damage done to the county and farms is more than has ever been known in the history of the county. Every bridge in Greene County across Chucky River is gone” The journal from Knoxville summed it all up. “Some facts and the flood are almost incredible…with winds from forty to sixty miles per hour.”
Are these reports from the floods caused by Hurricane Helene? No. This is from the Great Flood of October 1901! These reports mention another great flood in 1867. Which flood was the “worst in recorded history?” 1867, 1901, or 2024?
So, is the climate changing or remaining the same? God told Noah long ago, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (Gen. 8:22). Summers are hot, winters are cold, hurricanes and floods come and go. So the climate remains the same, just as God told us so.
