Title typo: Why Appalachia Flooded So Severely from Helene’s Remnants

Feels like automated title moderation.

HN posts have limits on title length. In such cases, it’s not unusual to post the original title as a comment.

HN seems to remove certain adjectives and, I guess, adverbs to minimize the sensationalizing of the titles (I assume). I was surprised by it recently when a title I submitted got "Massive" auto-removed even though length maximum was respected. Made the title more humdrum, but I can understand the rationale.

It makes sense in a poetic English sort of way.
