Well if you had followed the hurricane, they only knew about 1 or maybe 2 days ahead of time for was to be a category 1 Category 1 hurricanes normally don’t do that much wind damage. I’ve experienced a catagory 2and 3, and once it hits inland, normally its strength diminishes as it moves in but this one just came with a sudden surge from its north side arm and those winds slammed more inland. It surprised even me. Hurricanes can be unpredictable at times.
