It’s already down to Cat 2. SMH

Why yes, with that we should be able to just stand outside with our umbrellas and wait for the rainbows.

Actually, yes. If you're not near the coast, it's often just a bad storm that causes damage to mobile homes. Power might be out for a bit. Will be gone in 48 hours. None have had mandatory evacuations in the US before.

The ONLY Cat 2 to hit the US since the 20th century was 2014 Arthur... $16m in total damages across 4 states. Zero fatalities.

(Before that, you have to go back 23 yrs for a US-landfall Cat 2... 1995 Erin killed 6, and caused $700m in damages which "primarily came from downed trees, crop damages, and ship damages.")
