Weather Channel descriptions of Hurricane Ike illustrate the tyranny of categories ... when our heads start to think that categories actually exist and mean something.
They were emphasizing that Cat 2 is nothing due to the storm surge and how big Ike was... it got bigger than katrina. While Ike was a Cat 2 with the winds, it had a storm surge of a Cat 4 hurricane, therefor they were pointing out it dont really matter what the cat is
