Ita was rated a monster category 5 storm, came ashore as a 4 on Friday night
and was a 1 on Saturday afternoon local time.
It was a 1 crossing my sister’s home and she did not even lose power. There was no loss of life.
Modern weather forecasting is a wonderful thing that has saved
countless lives. The worst US storm I
know of was the unnamed Galveston hurricane of 1900 that cost 6000 lives that would
have been saved with current storm warning technology and information sharing.
I am grateful Ita quickly lost strength and did not cause any loss of
life in Australia. It could not have
gone any better than that.
