The big problem with this one is that it is moving really slow and is huge with a lot of rain that is causing flooding. The winds aren't all that strong but if you have saturated ground, you do have the possibility of trees coming down. I understand it has been very wet in the NE this year so that could definitely be a problem. Overall, it was not really that bad as it went through NC with the exception of a lot of rain at the coastal areas. Here in the Raleigh NC area we had some wind and rain but really nothing to speak of compared to some other storms we have had this summerr.
