No a category 1 hurricane is the least sever in wind speed, and strength. A category 5 is the most powerful type of hurricane to date, reaching winds of up to 190 mph. But that does not mean that a category 5 is the most destructive, any hurricane can cause enough damage to kill thousands.
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
