The real damage usually comes ahead of hurricanes. The storm surge is caused by the storm pushing in to land. I'm stating the obvious here but the rain starts long before the storm "makes landfall". There is obviously damage from the winds of the hurricane, but the real issues come from the flooding and tornadoes that spin off of it, usually coming from the northeast side of the storm.
Stay safe folks...any storm like this is a big deal. In the south, we don't panic because we are always prepared for this type of thing. I've been prepared since the last one came through.
