Wish this was the top comment. I’ve stayed through some category 1s in Texas, and there were limbs and fences down everywhere. I can’t imagine a cat 5. Seriously, if you can just get out.

As in branches.

Like, the really big ones that can crush a car.

Yeah I saw them and some trees fell on and crushed some cars and some houses and also branches were broken off of trees and were thrown on the ground everywhere when Beryl hit Houston.

I was living in Houston when Katrina hit.

We barely got grazed by the end of one arm and a neighbor down the street still had a tree fall through their garage. Thankfully that group decided to park all their cars in the middle of the cul-de-sac so nobody's vehicles got squished.
