OK, i see the conflicts:
surface wind measurement, versus aircraft wind measurement at elevation, versus barometric pressure indicated wind speed versus short term trend extrapolation versus agreed upon classification thresholds versus overly conservative fear of underestimating and getting sued, which has happened and the govt lost.

Therefore, the scenario is in the grey zone, which can be very disturbing to strong xSxJ personality types, and notable was that the Cat2 didn't last long. .
so even though my brother has a house in NO and in MS, so yeah, i am not going to be looking for a massive, significant conspiracy theory at the moment, as an xNxP personality type.

Personally, since insurance companies pay out or are held to expectations based upon weather storm classifications, as far as i am concerned for them, this was a cat 7 storm
