      Oh wow it was literally just a cat 4 like a couple hour ago.

      So this is now one of the fastest developing storms ever now and it hasn’t even gotten moving. And halved the time needed for “rapid development” as a tag.

      We are gonna need some new terms for these mega hurricanes.

      And the ground is still saturated from Helene, so it’s not going to be absorbing much of the water. The flooding will be far worse than a cat 5 on dry ground.
