[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1599030, member: 5507"] Outer bands are here. It's a hurricane for the coast and a tropical storm for us. Unless you have been in a hurricane, it's hard to understand. I've heard the old, "we have wind gusts up to that amount" before from other parts of the country. I thought the same thoughts when I lived on the plains. Since moving out here, I've been in four hurricanes and a few tropical storms. This is sustained wind. This is concentrated pushing of wind and rain in a specific, swirling direction, and, when you're under the hurricane, rather than brushing the edge, that wind direction reverses itself in the middle to swirl the opposite direction. This causes damage. Saturated soil gives and trees come down. Gusts weaken roof nails over time. I've seen the tops of healthy trees with their tops twisted off and thrown a quarter mile away. We are lucky it's just a tropical storm for us. [/QUOTE]
