to be downgraded to a tropical storm only means that the winds have fallen from 74 MPH to 73 MPH even at 45 MPH winds do considerable damage when you are just above sealevel ----as there are no mountains in Florida ---and the trees are rooted in sand----Power lines do have a habit of going down easily ----that is why most of us own a generator ----

Winds over 74 MPH is a category 1 hurricane
