Every Hurricane is different. Remember when it came through it wasn’t yet a hurricane. It was a tropical storm. It could become a Hurricane today so the wind affected us. When it becomes a Hurricane the rain may do major damage in terms of flooding. That’s why the authorities include flood warnings in their bulletins.
