Why did tropical storm Fay do damage to Florida when it was a weak tropical storm?
Faw a weak tropical storm; it was a strong tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph; just shy of hurricane strength. A 70 mph wind is perfectly sufficient to cause damage. Even then, intensity is not the only factor. A tropical storm of any strength will produce heavy rain, which can cause flooding.
