Type 2 or category 2 hurricanes are the storm that are 96 mph to 110 mph. They aren't all that alarming to those in the gulf south because they have been through worse than a category 2. To people in the gulf south Hurricanes that are a category 2 seem little to them. Almost like baby hurricanes. I've been through many hurricane so a Cat. 2 isn't that alaming to me. On the other hand Cat. 5 are the worst. Recently, Hurricane Katrina ripped through the gulf south chewing up the Gulf South and spitting it right back out. It is a very scary situation to be in but of you ever move to the Gulf South or surrounding area's please consider a evacuation route and plan an evacuation when the town/parish/county you're living in issues one. I hope this answers your questions and more -Anonymous
