I would disagree. I used to live in Rosman, NC, about an hour south of Asheville.

This is absolutely a precedented tragedy. It is run of the mill. That's because of climate change. Because of climate change, these 100 year floods are occurring once a decade. Yes, this is the biggest in those hundred years, but there are communities who are enormously affected by this regularly.

Calling it unprecedented plays into climate deniers hands. It wasn't normal. But it is becoming normal. It is precedented. We caused it. If it's unprecedented, people will ignore it as an oddity, an outlier. But people living there should expect this.
