... cat 4 for 5 hours or more at 155 mph (How?), 2 mph short of a cat 5. My hunch was it's possible they didn't want it labeled a cat 5. By the looks of the damage it certainly was a cat 5, imo. Perhaps they didnt take additional readings. I wouldn't blame them. So sad. My heart goes out to all the devastated people.
