It's a Category 1 hurricane and they keep calling this "Historic" - Why?

quote:

STEINHATCHEE, Fla. – Hurricane Debby made a historic landfall early Monday morning along Florida's Big Bend, blasting the state with flooding rain, damaging winds and life-threatening storm surge.

The Category 1 storm hit near Steinhatchee about 7 a.m. ET with winds estimated at 80 mph. Shortly after landfall, power outages skyrocketed to above 250,000 utility customers in the Sunshine State.

By midweek, the storm is expected to dump extreme amounts of nearly 2 feet of rain on parts of Georgia and South Carolina.

Everything now is "historic"

Its the favored white girl term to make something average appear special.

Everything is ”Historic” in the media now. Biden is so Historic he should be on Mt Rushmore. All BS. All the time.

Remember when they called a marginal Category 1 hurricane "Super Storm Sandy?"

Because it's the first hurricane named Debbie ever to make landfall in Florida?

That's all I've got.

Because there is a very good chance that Savannah and Charleston receive 1,000 year floods

Remember, Hurricane Harvey did all of its damage to Houston as a Tropical Storm. Just like how Debby is projected to, it stalled out and dumped rain en masse

Because Debby is a female of color, obviously.

Because very average dipshits need to feel special.

If its historic, they become massive victims.
