I was in year #2 of living in New Orleans and I remember Cindy coming thru overnight and woke up the next morning to sunshine and extreme heat.

I dont think rain was a big issue then. Cindy moved rather quickly.

Was Cindy even a hurricane? I thought it was just a tropical storm. It trucked through here in no time.

Then, the following month.....

EDIT: Okay, it was briefly a hurricane.

Cindy "eye" passed very close to us in Chalmette. It came aboard as a TS. I woke up at one point around 1-2 am, and the wind was howling, and I opened the front door (we had a screen door, kept that closed), looked out and the sky was orange. I remember thinking, this is a Cat 1 cane, not a tropical storm.

A couple of months later when they did their analysis, it was upgraded retroactively to a hurricane.

But I think I was at work by 11 am that morning. Plenty of tree limbs around, but no real water issues.

It wasn't. But I also don't remember the city of NO having so much flooding back then every time we got a few inches of rain.

Cindy's damage was mostly from downed tree limbs.

With global warming progressing like it has, we are destined to see a Cat. 6 supercane making landfall.

Yeah I think it brought about 22-21 inches of rain. The predicted track was right 9 out of the last 12 times.
