Watch Disaster Compounded

When hurricanes strike, of course those near where the storm makes landfall have much to fear. Then comes the possibility of tornadoes spinning off. Next comes massive rains that invariably are dropped sometimes hundreds of miles inland even sometimes affecting my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee and beyond. Assuming the hurricane lessens to a tropical storm at some point, there is still great danger as huge amounts of precipitation swell rivers, creeks, lakes, reservoirs, and dams whether it is still a hurricane or has diminished to mere heavy rains. These events are killers, but do not blame your SUV- it did not cause the hurricane.
