Ever hear of Allison? Allison was 'just' a tropical storm when it hit east Texas.
You are so fixated on wind speed that you fail to see the other destructive possibilities of this storm. It started raining in Philly at noon - with the center of the storm still down in NC.
Those rains are going to dump probably at least 10 inches here - on top of an already-record monthly rainfall.
And the size of the storm and the angle of its approach means Cat 2 surge into the coastal areas. And if that happens at high tide, add another foot because of the new moon.
In other words, if you bothered to inform yourself, you might see there are very nasty potential problems from this storm. But you haven't.
Time will tell won’t it? Can’t fake nature. One of us will be right and one will be wrong, but I will believe the people and not the Commie news.
Thanks for telling me some storms have rain in them, lots of rain, I didn’t know that.
Funny thing is, one time we had a tiny summer thunderstorm over us that gave us about 5” of rain in 30 minutes, then it began to dissipate and the weirdest thing happened, it pulsated back and forth with light rain for an hour or so then began to build again. More lightning and thunder and another 30 minutes of rain. All total around 8 inches in a couple of hours. Some parking lots and streets were flooded for a few hours, parking lots stayed flooded for a couple of days. But I’m in FL, our rain drains away due to the sandy soil.
I bet we got more rain in that run of the mill thunderstorm than they get with this storm. I can assure you if there is another thread in the future and it’s a real hurricane I will be right here saying how dangerous that one may be, unless it’s not and it’s all media hype and propaganda.
