I remember this one well. Sat on the apartment balcony and watched it rain buckets with nearly constant lightning. The wind didn't start really ripping until we almost got on the back side of the system and rain tapered down
Yeah I agree, the wind really didn't pick up in earnest until we got on the backend of the storm, had some of the characteristics of a sting jet w/ evaporatively driven cooling & some cold advection serving to locally enhance downdrafts. I'll be sure to take some videos of this storm tomorrow night.
Hanna was my first tropical experience after moving from Charlotte. Charlotte gets jack diddly squat in terms of tropical weather . I very much remember Hanna ! The girl and the storm .
Hanna is probably my favorite tropical cyclone I've experienced since I've started living here in Fayetteville. A few big trees behind the house snapped and woke me up during the middle of the night, lost power for about 5-6 hours, & the wind was extremely loud. Ironically, Isaias will be striking at virtually the same time of the night as Hanna did.
