>>3936809Yes that's what I said though, I said that it is just a generalization that won't be put down, and that inland areas up to 1,000 miles are still effected directly by the weather from the nearest coast, I didn't say that makes them actual coastal states. Also the last one to have status as a tropical storm was Nora 1997, the last one to flood out all the highways in 5ft of water was Norbert in 2014, even though it was even tropical storm status it still flooded some highways in 5 ft of water and some neighborhoods in 30 inches of water.
