Just jerkin' on your chain.
The first ref. was to recent storms, the last was to major ones, Hugo in particular. My sister was living in St. Thomas, when the anemometer blew away, it last registered over 230+.
The second was based on recent experiences. Francis was not all that powerful but lingered for so long that cumulative damage racked up. Jeanne was more powerful but normal in longevity.
The truly unfortunate part was in the fact that they hit in the same place twice. At least we saw the eye, which gives you a break.
