A recent storm in the US highlighted the importance of accurate weather forecasting and the disproportionate impact of extreme weather events on vulnerable communities. Dr. James Marshall Shepherd, a meteorologist, emphasized that excessive rainfall is often the deadliest aspect of hurricanes, not wind speed. He also noted that climate change is affecting hurricane intensity and rapid intensification. Shepherd stressed that it's crucial to move away from focusing solely on category numbers and instead prioritize warnings about heavy rainfall.
