No, actually it's not. It's just the Hurricane tracking page that shows the various storms in the waters around the world. If you click on the storm button in the left panel (using my laptop, not phone), you focus on that storm. Click on Otis and it will show the Cat # at various stages in its path. It went from a 1 to a 5 overnight (which, again, I am not claiming is true) according to their path. Not gusts. Just Cat #'s.
Hurricane Otis is on Windy. It hit Acapulco as a 5 and is now a 2 inland.
Edit: according to Windy.com
Edit 2: I don't get it... why the downvote with no explanation? Do you know where Acapulco is? Look at Otis and zoom in.
that's not what the map shows, at all..
Dude, what are you looking at? If you go to https://windy.com/-hurricane-tracker/hurricanes/Otis?gust,12.662,-100.854,5 you'll see Otis as a "2" inland of the Acapulco Bay.
Your link is for gusts. The category of a hurricane is based on sustained winds, NOT wind gusts.
