A category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130 to 156 mph.
The main difference between a Category 2 and a Category 4 hurricane is the wind speed. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of 96-110 mph, while a Category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130-156 mph. Category 4 hurricanes are more intense and can cause more damage compared to a Category 2 hurricane.
A hurricane with 120 mph winds would be classified as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category 3 hurricanes are considered major hurricanes and have the potential to cause extensive damage.
Hurricane Andrew was a Category 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds. The pressure was 922 mbar.
Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157+ mph
Hurricane Andrew was stronger. It was a category 5 hurricane with peak winds of 175 mph, making landfall still as a category 5 with winds of 165 mph. Floyd was a category 4 hurricane with peak winds of 155 mph. It made landfall as a category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph.
