Harvey in particular taught us not to make any 100% assumptions about hurricane behavior.

TS Imelda for me was crazier than harvey. Popping up so quick and dumping almost as much rain. My folks had no concerns since it was just a TS and then it completely demolished them after they had just finished Harvey repairs.

The US has never had an operational Cat 5 landfall. All cat 5s were upgraded in post-season reanalysis. Michael was also presumed to be a Cat 4 at landfall until reanalysis. Laura may end up being the first one operationally declared a Cat 5.

Andrew was upgraded from 145mph to 165mph on reanalysis. IIRC a lot of it was done based on structural damage analysis (similar to Tornado ratings).

Already showing videos of storm surge etc.

I gotta say, that's the start of a quality prayer. Coming up with kick-rear end prayers is one of the few things I miss about being religious. Such a sense of accomplishment to deliver a your best supplication to the creator of the universe.
