I'll take a large Cat 2 vs. a smaller Cat 5, any day!The wind speeds are down to cat 2.
But the system is larger.
So. Not good news.
I think people pay better attention to the water when it's accompanied by wind. Wind, thankfully, is more difficult to sleep through. It's when the water rises quietly in the wee hours of the morning... it's scary. One of those things that keep emergency management on edge and up all night.~ I see your point, true less wind, however that excessive rain could be more dangerous.

Somehow... that doesn't surprise me. I have to wonder if our paths have crossed, professionally.~ Yes, I have been involved in many aftermath operations of these types of events during my career professional career and you are correct.

I don't know if you and I have met before, but we probably know at least a few of the same people. I worked with Lee Mayfield when he worked for Craig. And I worked with ESF-17 during the time frame the reptile industry started attending the AITC meetings, the cattlemen were concerned about heartwater, and West Nile virus first showed up in Florida.~ I was an LEO in Special Ops at the Collier County Sheriffs Office, last 13 years was as a K-9 Handler/Sergeant. I retired in 2010 after 25 years.
