They didn't know what Dennis '99 was going to do what he did until he was doing it.

Remember it well. I keep thinking what if Dorian took off in another direction

I wouldn't call 60mph wind gusts in the triangle a nonevent....nor even 40mph.

That's like a 24 hour severe thunderstorm. Combined with 2 to 3 inches of rain.

I wouldn’t either. 40-60 mph winds could finish off the work that Fran, Floyd or Florence started. I bet there’s a lot of trees around the Triangle that need just one more good push and they’re down

Any one who doesn't respect and fear the awesome destructive capability of a hurricane is a fool.

WRAL is predicting 24 MPH winds overnight Thursday.
IF that is accurate, it is nearly a non-event.


NOAA is predicting a 30%--40% chance of sustained 39+ MPH winds. Shift the storm a few miles east and that drops, uh, precipitously.
We aren't going to be stupid about it, but we also aren't very concerned about our home and health unless there is a significant shift to the west.

I DO like the Dennis '97 example as it relates to the angles and dangles a storm may do.

Foul on the play. Minus 4 yards for hyperbolic generalization.
