The weather system will lose its €śHurricane€ť status but remains a
€śmajor storm€ť.

*Why did you lot send this storm over to us?* ;-)


We are just sharing the fun. We don't even put the shutters up for a
little puff of wind like that. Irma was a Cat 3 when the eye went over
my house. (120-130 MPH)

Good one. We had a bit of wind in 2000. From our vantage point on
the screen porch we could hear the "freight train" noise that means
a tornado is going past. We couldn't see it; too many trees between
us and it.
