True, if it remains a TS. If it drops to TD, does it qualify as a 'direct hit'? That was one of the big questions last year in NJ and NY. Did they get hit by a hurricane or not? We all know how devastating it was, whatever they got, but it really isn't in the books as a hurricane strike.
A TD is a big storm for sure, but will it be in the books as a direct strike or will they go longer than 20 years?
Of course. A TD is a tropical cyclone after all.
