   I am sure people were terrified of the landfall.

   Ground stations have verified tropical storm force winds in only one storm this year. I think NHC’s wind speed formula is something like this:

   Wind speed reported by the NHC = Actual wind speed + 20 to 25 m.p.h.

   They keep naming systems with pressures around 1008 millibars. Long ago, in one of the meteorological journals, it was stated that a storm had to be around 1000 millibars to qualify as a bona fide tropical storm. If they ever went back to usuing that threshold, or even 1004 mb, the number of named storms would decrease dramatically.
