Hurricane Rita reached category 5 strength over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
The main difference in wind strength between a category 2 and category 5 hurricane is the maximum sustained wind speed. A category 2 hurricane has wind speeds of 96-110 mph, while a category 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 157 mph or higher, making it much more intense and potentially destructive.
At peak strength Sandy was a category 2 hurricane but had weaken to category 1 strenth at landfall in the U.S.
