in general yeah, but often times we fall into the media hype of a stronger hurricane, but a cat 1/2 comes through and does a bunch of really bad flooding damage that just kind of gets brushed under the rug and can decimate a municipality/region months/years.
they can definitely fukk shyt up.
Bro I really dislike how we brush things off and if the "national news" doesn't showcase this as "catastrophic" then people are like

...when you will have people without power, business shut down, flooding, folks being displaced, and it's 100plus degrees...and damage usually add up to 100millions and shyt is fycked up for months...
But dudes will rally around a "major national story", that involves one person...
