you must have misread my post... I was making the point that wind speed alone does not measure how powerful a storm is... the recent past has seen larger storms based on the size >>It's ridiculous and dishonest to call Katrina and Sandy cat 1 and 2 storms, and belittle the damage wrought by them I didn't belittle the damage, don't know where you got that idea, my most even referenced that Katrina and Sandy were #1 and #2 ranked with re to damage caused And yes, Katrina was a CAT 2 at landfall.
