Now imagine this was only a CAT 1 storm.

That is what confuses people. It was only Cat 1, but it was 1000
miles wide and moved slowly so it pushed a lot of water into bays,
inlets and beaches. It also hit during full moon and high tide. It
also had the lowest barometer readings ever recorded.

Most hurricanes hit a narrow path and fizzle within a few miles of
hitting land.
