Quite right, this is not a hurricane, it won't have the characteristics of a hurricane and it certainly won't have the sustained winds of even a category 1 hurricane never mind a Cat 2. Tropical storm strength perhaps. Hurricane and Tropical storms also drop a lot more than 40mm of rain. However, potentially a very strong autumn storm not to be reckoned with. I hope it's a corker and everyone stays safe, although its inevitable that it is almost unavoidable that not everyone will stay safe. Common sense is key here, no unnecessary risks etc, like kite surfing in the dark..
