No apologies needed. Don't just lurk. You just reported what you read. Stormm2k has a policy about not calling a storm by name until it is officially called, even if every indication says it should be called.
Another lurker speaking, prompted by this encouragement - but posting only to ask a favor. . .
A couple of posts have indicated Danny will get to only Category and not post much of a threat here or there. Maybe not, BUT . . .
For the sake of the many S2K lurkers, some of whom may not be as savvy as you regular posters here, PLEASE don't downplay the possible threat of a tropical system. I had 4K in damage to my home from "mere" Tropical Storm Fay.
And we were lucky. A lady we know was able to salvage only a few precious boxes of belongings from her home, which was a total loss as a result of
just a Tropical Storm. In that particular neighborhood, she was not alone.
Apologies for the interruption, and a big thank you for all the great information and enlightening discussion that you guys provide.
