∙ 11y agoMany hurricanes have reached cat 5 in open water but very few remained cat 5 during landfall..many think andrew 1992 was a cat 5 at landfall but after research, since much of the measuring devices at the time were destroyed at landfall, it is probable that andrew came ashore at a cat 4.. 2 other storms came ashore as cat 5 but were also questionable because of the primativw measuring devices of the time
