Without the FEMA shouting, dire headlines, and weather channel hysteria, it could have been much deadlier. People won't take it seriously unless you get their undivided attention first, and that's damn near impossible these days.

Yes the wind died down, but the inland flash flooding was/is tremendous and often in places few expected.
The normally 3' deep, 60 cu/ft/sec, creek behind my house, jumped to 16' deep and 7,000 cu/ft/sec, in about 12 hrs.
