1. Beryl Looks Relatively Small

"Small" being well, relative.

The TD off the Carolina coast doesn't really look like much. Air pressure is high, winds aren't too wild. Not that much rain. I got my data from Ventusky.com.

Good luck to everyone.

2. Beryl is small

Once a hurricane is in my neighborhood, we're paying attention -could be nothing, could be something so we'll be ready and warn those around. Rain and flooding could be a problem for the TD because they say it will stay around for a while.

3. I Was Working for the State of North Carolina

when Hurricane Bonnie hit. It wasn't anything but a bit of rain in Raleigh, but the whole eastern third of the state got flooded really badly. I helped the local offices rebuild their physical records from the database because their files were destroyed.

Even relatively small hurricanes, tropical depressions, and storms can cause havoc.
