It was not 5 at landfall. Thats what counts.
Andrew was a very compact storm. This one is much larger.
I'm sorry -- Hugo was a five in the Atlantic; a 138 mph Cat 4 when it hit Charleston.
Its cool - its like saying Isabel was a 5. Only hit at 2 :)
I have read about animals acting crazy before disastrous events, like the big New Madrid earthquake in 1805 (I should check the date). Lewis and Clark wrote about that. And, of course, old Native American tales tell about how strangely the animals behaved at that time.
I'm sure there are many other such incidents. Maybe some of our historians can fill us in on this.
I agree.........I started making plans to move out of Delaware not long after they elected a the first female, and a high school drop out to boot, as governor.

It strikes me as odd that a New Zealand newspaper would make such a big prediction as that.
BS - Camille was the strongest in the gulf. Ever.
Katrina won't be fit to shine Camille's high heels.
What the heck? XTRP is the only track where mass chaos does not happen.
Perhaps he doesn't have the "legal authority" to order a mandatory evac, but he certainly has the moral duty to issue one. On the other hand, anyone with even a pea for a brain should know that it is high time, past time, to saddle up and vamoose. Pronto.
Bless you again for showing leadership and running this thread. You've helped many, many people in several ways.
If there was a six or seven, Camille would have qualified, given the article posted earlier.
