That reminds me of a cat 1 hurricane named Helene IIRC.

I went to bed around 9pm thinking we would lose power and with no AC I wouldn't be able to sleep.

I and every other person slept right through it. Never lost power and could not find any evidence the next day that there had ever been a hurricane.

Eta Helene was not it. Can't recall the name at the moment.

Weird quote: "I have no idea whether he's acting on impulse or whether this storm played a part in his thinking," said David Heckler, district attorney in Bucks County, Pa. What the heck does that mean?!

Very awful and sad story, though. :(

:lol: Sounds about right. I still remember the first time I saw his car at a benefit run. Other than the deck wing, our cars are identical..... Until you get within 10' and his car looks showroom new and mine looks like I went down a gravel track sideways.
