According to the NOAA weather station in New York Harbor... the fastest winds recorded there were 39 knots (44.8 miles per hour). That's a common blustery day where I live.
Catagory 1 hurricanes are at least 74 miles per hour, this was just barely a "storm"... a knot or two slower and it would have been a "tropical depression". A "sad" rainfall.
Today the news is saying it wasn't the hurricane they expected... so is this just another example of the news creating panic where no panic was due? But prior and during they made it seem like Katrina 2.0.
