I'm sure this greatly disappointed everyone at TWC
TWC loves to hype, and the nhc gave them something to work with. Given its proximity to land I can see why the nhc upgraded it, should they have... well thats up for debate. Ohh and thanks matty, lol.
Is it me or does the NHC seem to want to upgrade things which don't deserve it?
Take TD2 here, which really wasn't much special. There also seems to be a lot of minimal tropical storms that get the name and attention, but don't really do much of anything. Were they even strong enough for TS status in the first place, or just bumped to 40-45 mph for whatever reason?
