TWC says Claudette will be mainly a rain event...and should be making landfall later this afternoon.

I’m trying to remember the name of the one a few years ago that was a possible disturbance down near Miami when I left for work a couple of years ago, and was hitting here as a tropical storm by the time I got home that afternoon...and of course my son was away at college and my husband was out of town on business...

First ever tropical storm for me here. Do we have to go stand in line at the grocery store to stock up on milk and toilet paper like you do for a midwestern blizzard?

” TWC says Claudette will be mainly a rain event “

Isn’t one of the criteria for a TS rating ‘sustained winds of 45? mph’??

Agreed that it’s not quite CAT5, but that’s still enough to break things - or at least blow your lawn furniture into the neighbor’s yard... ;)
