Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speed, and Hurricane Opal was a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. There have been stronger hurricanes, such as Hurricane Katrina, which was a Category 5 hurricane with winds exceeding 175 mph.

Yes. Hurricane Katrina was incredibly destructive, but it was by no means the strongest hurricane on record. At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina has sustained winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 millibars (lower pressure means a stronger storm). The position for highest sustained winds for an Atlantic hurricane is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980), both of which peaked with sustained winds of 190 mph. In terms of pressure, Katrina is the 6th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. First place goes to Hurricane Wilma, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars. The severity of a storm's impact is not purely a result of its intensity. In factm by landfall, Katrina had weakened to a 125 mph category 3. The incredible destruction from Katrina resulted from a combination of the storm's strength, large size, and where it hit. The major factor was the failure of the levees in New Orleans.
No. Hurricane Katrina was a hurricane, which is a type of very powerful storm.
