the calm after the storm

Hurricane Kyle was a category 1 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) that lasted for 22 days and became the third longest-lived tropical cyclone in the Atlantic basin. Kyle eventually made landfall along the southeastern United States coast as a weak tropical storm before moving back out to sea.

"This was a run-of-the-mill storm. It had the potential to be a real problem and it all sort of went away," Michael Hinerman, director of the Washington County Emergency Management Agency, told the AP.
