Tropical Storm Arthur flooded homes, triggered rescues, and spawned tornadoes across Louisiana and Mississippi, and it wasn’t even a hurricane.

That is exactly why so many people underestimated it.

Tropical Storm Arthur brought flooding, rescues, tornado warnings, and damage across parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, proving once again that the category does not tell the whole story.

We judge tropical systems by wind speed. But for the people who lived through Arthur, the water mattered more than the label.

In this video, I follow Arthur’s impacts on the ground: flooded homes, submerged roads, a flash flood emergency, firefighters rescuing people by boat, and tornado damage after one of Arthur’s rain-wrapped tornadoes crossed Lake Pontchartrain toward Slidell.

Most people may forget Arthur because it was “only” a tropical storm.

But the people who woke up with water in their homes will not.

This is what Tropical Storm Arthur really did and why “not a hurricane” does not always mean safe.
