There is no such thing as a category 6 hurricane. The maximum is category 5. This category is open-ended, meaning that once a hurricane reaches category 5 strength (sustained winds of 156 mph or greater) it is classed as a category 5 no matter how much stronger the winds are.
Also, hurricanes are not rated by size. They are rated by wind speed. A stronger hurricane is not necessarily bigger.
Category 2 winds are 96-110 mph.
Category 5 winds are 156+ mph.
A category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130 to 156 mph.
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
No, it is in the second strongest category of hurricane, with winds that have peaked at 140 mph.But many hurricanes have achieved category 5 intensity, with winds ranging from just over 155 mph to about 190 mph.
In terms of ones that have hit the U.S. at category 5 strength, there have been 3: The Labor Day hurricane of 1935, Hurricane Camille in 1969, and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
The rating of a hurricane does not depend on the death toll, nor is death toll directly linked to intensity. There are many factors that influence how many a hurricane kills aside from intensity. Factors include where the storm hits, how large it is, how well-prepared the people are, and even how much rain the area has had recently. Many category 1 hurricanes do not kill anyone. Others have been very deadly. Perhaps the worst category 1 hurricane on record was Hurricane Stan in 2005, which killed more than 1,600 people.

How strong was the hurricane? Ultimately, the hurricane was categorized as a category 4. Rare is it that a hurricane is that strong. Remember, hurricanes are dangerous. I've been through many hurricanes in my life. A hurricane can cause a lot of damage. Never before have I been through a category 4 hurricane. Eventually, the hurricane passed.

About 7 times bigger.
About 7.6 times bigger.
There would be 1000 meters in one kilometer. So it is 30 times bigger.
