Impressive for a cat1

Beryl is a great example of the idea that a strengthening cat 1 (and low end at that) often has worse effects than a weakening cat 2. Nothing against the Saffir Simpson Scale, but it is often deceptive as regards total impact. The Joe Bastardi “Power/Impact Scale” is a good idea because it better measures total impact imo. Also, the IKE scale is often a better indicator of storm surge. Coincidentally, Hurricane Ike hit TX as a cat 2 but had larger impacts than the avg cat 2.
