Yeah, supposedly to a Cat 3, but they're full of it. Cat 3's don't produce 30 ft. surge.

It was at least a Cat 4.

@theBumruckus, where u here in south Louisiana? did you see what that storm did? i know i did; first hand, in person watched as just the sustained wind ripped live oaks out of the ground with the roots still attached. I sta in the house and watched as the winds ripped nailed and screwed in plywood from the windows and tornadoes passed by, constantly spawned from the storm. If you want to say something catty that that, then go ahead, but if you weren't here then i suggest you keep yourself quiet.

It's amazing how fast this storm grew...

@volcrazy89 It wasn't

@madbengalsfan85 Actually Ike and Katrina were Cat 5 heading towards the Gulf of Mexico and the Cat 5 storm surge was already on the way when it weakened to Cat 2 or 3, just like Katrina. She died down from a Cat 5 to a Cat 3 in 6 hours.

@volcrazy89 Ike was a Cat 2 at landfall but it produced the surge of a Cat 5...the size of the wind field would be to blame

@darkbeetlebot worse did come just a month later. Hurrican Rita was way stronger than Katrina but got hit with an area of high pressure coming from Texas and caused it to weaken dramaticaly to a catoagory 3 when it hit landfall.
