Haha, do they really take inflation into consideration when calculating damage? Three cheers for the economy!

Derek Ortt wrote:Bill, did Klaus really do all of that to Martinique? In the NHC report, it indicates absolutely no effect directly from Klaus on Martinique, which makes sense as Klaus was being impacted by 35KT westerly shear at the time (it also may not have been a hurricane based upon FL data, the upgrade was made based upon lower level FL readings, with little reduction... i.e. no reduction)


Well, if you don't know about it, then it apparently must not have happened.
