Why are you making this some type of competition?

I’m not. I’m explaining a difference.

What is the point of comparing Helene to Katrina? Harvey was also a 4.

Why discount the impact of Katrina just because there were systematic issues? It was a natural disaster and that was the impact.

Because it comes off to me like you're trying to "well ackshully" about Helene being really the most devastating hurricane.
