exactly. so much depends on track. we have had some crazy storms but nothing this perfectly aligned for destruction.
imagine:
andrew slightly further north
hugo further left of charleston
laura 30 miles west.
michael slightly more west
etc etc
that's what happened here. one of those scenarios...
Depends on how you categorize Tracy. It was urban. And it was wind damage. But the buildings were sticks. These are modern condo buildings and a mall just shredded.
This just hit the right spot. I don’t think the winds were special because of its small size, beyond the usual mantra of small storms can wind up quickly.
Yeah I’m a toss up on it but publicly pot committed to band mayhem. So here we are. I really do hate how frustrating the eyewall has been. This storm could be so much better with minor tweaks.
