I'd want to disagree with that but then again our experiences and data is on some different shyt 'cause my experience would be based off of Hurricanes with sustained winds that actually increase (Irma did that and Maralin in St Thomas..good God) and did more rukus than the rain but us here in the Caribbean take the brunt of the Hurricane's wind power if it lands on us before it makes it's way to y'all up in America so y'all get more water than wind.
Doesn't help that as an island we are getting the wind fresh off the sea without the benefit of land mass like y'all do which sees Hurricanes pewtering out in power when it goes deeper.
Man, fukk the logistics, just stay safe however you get the shyts.
