A Cat 3 with a 20 ft storm surge is worse than a Cat 3 with a 6 ft storm surge. They're both CAT 3's.. they both do damage... but the storm surge can make a big difference and the Categorization doesn't adjust for severity of Storm Surge. It wasn't WIND that knocked that bridge out of place and it wasn't wind that shoved all those houses in P-Cola into the bay.
