How much do you consider the category system when planning for a hurricane? By category system I mean the rating of hurricanes from tropical storm, then category one up to category five. In your planning is the category rating of an approaching storm your primary consideration, or is it a very important consideration, or somewhat important, or do you not consider it very much?
