With all the rain that’s fallen here this summer I imagine we wouldn’t need an absurd rain total to cause big problems. Those rain totals in Harvey while astounding at least fell in a region where it’s not completely unprecedented. I would imagine here in the cool northeast our ecosystem wouldn’t be able to handle an equivalent total but maybe someone with more knowledge than myself could expand on that.
Exactly. That’s my “concern” here. A Cat 3 just meandering north until it makes landfall as a weak cat 1. Got to get it to move more quickly or hope the waters south of us sustain it longer than is likely
