Of course I recently moved up here from Fla so a Cat 1 to me isn't even cause to get excited. So just sitting here watching streams and listening to the soothing sounds of the wind howling across my screens. a historical flood might get you "excited"... | ||

Lucky me I am not in a flood zone. :D Interesting that was one of the demands I made of my real estate agent when looking, No flood zones.

Now granted those people are getting shafted, but that is something you expect living on the coast and have insurance for. Now the guy who said he wasn't worried in a cat 3 was clearly exaggerating. Even those of us who have gone through a few are leaving town on a cat 3. Cat 2 is questionable, depends where you live and such. Generally worth leaving for this because everything is going to be shut down for days anyhow. A cat 1 however is pretty much a long lasting bad storm. You are going to get flooding on the coasts (see insurance and expected), you are going to get wind damage though usually not usually major and a freaking ton of rain. Beyond that, there isn't much too one. Flying objects during extremely heavy gusts and morons are the most dangerous things in a cat 1 outside of coastal surge. Personally I fear extremely strong summer thunderstorms far more. Those typically cause far far more damage for their short lives. | ||

Most likely, heavy flooding with lots of underground power = Temp turn stuff off. It is easier to protect the integrity of the system that way. | ||
