Yes. Category 5 is the highest category a hurricane can attain. A landfall at category 5 intensity will likely cause catastrophic damage.
Savannah, located on the coast of Georgia, is most likely to be hit by a hurricane due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The city is at higher risk of experiencing the impact of hurricanes compared to other inland cities in Georgia.
Savannah, Georgia is a city that is most likely to experience a hurricane due to its location along the Atlantic coast and susceptibility to storms originating in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.
The worst effects of a hurricane are right along the coastline. Georgia has a much shorter coastline than Florida or the Carolinas and so is less likely to suffer a direct hit from a hurricane.
If HURREVAC indicates a 15% probability of hurricane winds at landfall expected in 72 hours, it suggests that there is a low likelihood of significant hurricane impacts for your community. While it's important to remain vigilant and prepared, the odds suggest that the majority of scenarios will not result in hurricane-force winds. Therefore, you can be reasonably confident that your community will likely experience only minimal effects, if any, from the hurricane. However, always stay informed and follow local emergency management updates.
Most likely not. Currently Hurricane Irene is projected to make landfall in the Carolinas, at which point the storm would rapidly weaken.

Yes, it is reasonably likely that Irene will make at least 1 landfall along the East Coast, most likely in North Carolina. It is nearly imminent that part of - and possibly much of - the East Coast will be affected in some way, including rain, wind, storm surge, and especially rip tides.

No, Oakville is to far inland to be hit by a hurricane. It is possible for it to be affect by the remnants of a hurricane, but by that time they would be no stronger than an ordinary storm system.
The hurricane season lasts from June 1st to November 30th. So any time during this time Georgia could be hit by a hurricane. But August-November would be most likely because the storms that form of the coast of Africa move along the equator and then curve northward. Some times these storms move up the coast of Florida and hit Savanna Georgia and other parts as well. Georgia also gets storms from the gulf of Mexico too.
It is not a major hurricane by the technical definition, but is still quite dangerous. Currently, as of the evening of October 26, 2012 Sandy is a category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 mph, and is expected to hit the U.S. east coast a little bit above that strength. The storm has already claimed more than 40 lives and will likely claim more when it makes landfall.
He most likely not. This is because he's from Canada and lived in Georgia. Not Michigan. But between you and me I'm a MSU fan. GO GREEN!
They will most likely merge into a single, larger hurricane.
Most likely, hurricane Katrina.
