Lol at this dumb gently caress who learned nothing from sandy and katrina and thinks the category system is meaningful or useful beyond predicting wind damage The most important things for storm surge, which is actually the most important consideration for low lying areas, are exactly what time it will make landfall w/r/t the tides, and other factors that influence storm surge, and this is impossible to predict accurately more than a few hours out

Beet Wagon posted:It's you. You're the guy who doesn't know storm surge is primarily dependent on wind speed, storm approach angle, and coastal topography, and has been modeled by the NHC since like 2008. Yeah the single biggest factor definitely isn't whether it hits as the tide is high/rising. Oh wait it is! By virtue of being a tropical cyclone the wind is always going in the right direction to maximize storm surge somewhere along the coast where it makes landfall. The storm speeding up or slowing down in the hours before landfall can make a huge difference in the storm surge if it means the storm hits as the tide is rising instead of falling and this is impossible to predict accurately in time for anyone to sanely not prepare for the worst. Also the NHC modelling it has fuckall to do with the storm caregory so citing the category as a reason people shouldn't have gotten worked up about it is dumb as poo poo
