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.

NORTH CAROLINA: - In Nash County, a man was killed after a tree limb fell on him outside his home Saturday morning as outer bands from the storm brought near hurricane-force gusts inland. - Goldsboro police say a 15-year-old girl died Saturday afternoon after the SUV carrying her and family members collided with another SUV at an intersection where Irene had knocked out power to traffic lights. - Authorities in Pitt County say a man was found dead in his home after Irene's winds toppled a tree onto his house. - Another man in Pitt County drove through standing water, went off a road and died after striking a tree on Saturday. - A mother in Sampson County died Saturday morning when a tree fell on a car carrying her and two family members.
