BILLIONS ARE GONNA DIE!!!! SUPERSTORM!!!! GLOBAL CHANGING!!!! CLIMATE WARMTH!!!! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!!!
The damage this hurricane will create isn't strictly the wind speed - it's the size and the amount of flooding it's going to create.
While it remains to be seen how much rain and flooding it will cause, I wouldn't dismiss how bad a flood can be - just ask Noah.

GET OUT NOW!!! THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH...RUN LIKE YOUR HAIRS ON FIRE...GRAB EVERY LOAF OF BREAD AND EVERY BOTTLE OF WATER....ALL THE BATTERIE...er...never mind, geez, some people have no sense of humor!
worst hurricane of known mankind....devastation worldwide....maybe 3 inches of rain...the sky is falling chicken little....
I did absolutely NOTHING to prepare.
I filled a few more 5-gallon jugs with gas...and bought extra beer.
You're gonna pretend you're stranded and isolated whether you are or not, right?
And you're upset that the predictions aren't as bad as predicted? I'm thrilled the rainfall will be minimal here, regardless of dire predictions.
The storm is still a major event for the area of impact. Predictions of 20" of rain and massive storm surge.
I did absolutely NOTHING to prepare.

Tell that to the half a MILLION people without power now and goodness knows how many flooded out of their homes plus the destruction being suffered. It may have come onshore as a Cat 1, but the longer it sits and spins over the area, the worse it's going to be.
A friend is riding out the storm in Carolina Beach, just south of Wilmington, and thankfully is safe for now though without power as of an hour ago.
