Those three storms were the benchmark previously for each of the mentioned city. You can replace that with Katrina.
VERY true!

I find his description of damage that a huge Cat 1 vs. a small Cat 3 equally interesting.

That IS an amazing picture!!! Equally amazing is how something that beautiful and awe inspiring can cause such heartache for so many....
she looks like an awe inspiring buzzsaw but the truth is that beautiful buzzsaw from space did her dirty work by turning homes into cutup matchsticks.Its very rare to see a Hurricane that resembles a buzzsaw also that is about as organize as they get.she was able to get that way beacuse she had a perfect enviroment over record high ocean temperature

Yes, the damage she did was hideous; but I have to concur that this monster makes an awe-inspiring picture indeed. That "buzzsaw" is one of the most incredible pictures I've seen of how nature has its own oxymorons:Beautifully Hideous!

Thought the same of a few threads myself; guess it depends on how long people have an interest in the topic.
