Kinda missed you there.
We just got officially upgraded to a tropical storm WARNING. Seems it’s gonna get real here.
In fact tropical storm wind are supposed to extend into Tennessee and North Carolina. Wow!
It’s quite hilly here so flooding is a non issue. BUT we are heavily forested- tall oldish hardwood. Winds ARE a risk.
I wonder what the record is for sustained speed of forward progress of a hurricane (say, at least for 12 hours) after landfall?
