Even if the observations on the ground suggest a Cat 4 at landfall, they will most likely still grade it a Cat 5 after the fact no matter what much the same way they did with Andrew.

BTW, the category of storm can have a great affect on how much money the fed puts toward things. The arguments over Andrew were rather interesting to say the least.
