I suppose. Generally think how "easy" tropical systems were on New Orleans in the 1970s-1990s.
I remember the names of some of them that made the local news and DID cause power outages (usually around 12-24 hours at most) and school closures (yay!). Hurricanes Bob and Danny. I forget the exact years ... 1979-82 or thereabouts.
I also remember tropical systems coming through and the neighborhood kids going out to play in the weather (obviously not Cat 3+!). And I don't mean coming out during the eye -- I mean during the wind and rain. Grabbing a big piece of cardboard and your roller skates and "sailing" down the street during gusting winds. Stuff like that.
Used to play in the non-hurricane floods, too (e.g. May 3, 1979). People broke out their flatboats and pirogues (yes, even in the suburbs!). Kid walked around looking for fire ant colonies floating in the water (genius!). Just general dumb stuff.
