    Helene was only a category 4 and did this amount of damage. It’s insane.

      “Only” a cat 4? It was one step away from the highest rating of 5…

        Last I read this morning it was still a category 4 and never made 5.

          Yes correct. But I’m more pointing that that saying “only a cat 4” comes across like if it was a weak storm that did all the damage. It was about 15mph shy of being the highest rating.

        And durechos in Iowa, and smoke covering the sky for months, and “cold snaps”, and hottest summers on record, yeah these are all normal things that I totally remember having as a child. Keep your heads in the sand people, it’s all just one crazy storm, they couldn’t possibly be all related

      It doesn’t help when idiots keep building in flood plains.
