The good news is that it is not very heavy rain and the wind is mild for the most part,
One of these days we won't be so lucky and there will be a super hurricane of the same size. These small islands won't recover for decades.

It looks like the outer banks of NC are going to get a one-two punch from this one and TD eight. Neither is expected to become a hurricane before landfall and both are expected to go out to sea after skimming the coast.
In the meantime, Lester in the Pacific is a Category Four. It's expected to remain at hurricane strength as it moves north of Hawaii, so surfers there will have a great time.

Not much wind. Just rain. And the end of the day unless it develops into a Hurricane it will be a net positive. Florida does not store water well and needs large amounts on a regular basis.
