ButterflyGirl said:I have been through categories 3, 4, and 5 hurricanes and some tropical storms. Each category were different. Category 5 Hurricane Ivan was the worst of all that I have been through. It was really amazing to see what difference a category 5 can do. I was living in Grand Cayman when we got hit by Ivan. The sea went over the small island and it was like it got swallowed but by God's mercy that he had on us, only two people have died. However several elderly people have died afterwards due to shock and depression. The whole island was very badly damaged but people have pulled together to rebuild and it has brought us closer to each other.
There is no category 6 hurricanes though.
