And explains the vast differences between Firesmith’s swamp in south Georgia, the Piedmont where I am just north of Atlanta, and the mountains where mom lives in NW Georgia

We’ve got a lot of sandy soil on the surface here, but if you dig deep enough you run into clay. And it is flatter than a pancake as far as real hills or mountains. Barely tempting to be called tropical a decade ago, both the amount of rain we’ve had, and the temperatures have risen.
I’m a bad hurricane away from leaving this place while I still can.
I noticed the clay soil mainly in Atlanta as that is where I have been the most in Georgia.
The clay also helped the elephants at Zoo Atlanta to look pink. Elephants spray themselves with water to stay cool–and with clay involved, they appear pink–so even sober people can see pink elephants.
Indianapolis, IN, beat Atlanta as being the biggest city nor near navigable water–but obviously, Atlanta is much bigger.
I think A/C has helped the southeast population growth. Maybe not as much as the southwest, but still a factor.
The video was interesting. I just wish the announcer could pronounce Appalachian correctly and not switch between metric and imperial measurements.
