	Sheltering Issues
		Research shows that a building that withstood Hurricane Celia (1970 storm landfall Corpus Christ) a category 3 Hurricane, is not guaranteed to be a safe shelter in a hurricane like Hugo (1989 storm landfall in Carolinas) or Andrew (1992 storm landfall in Florida), both of which were category 4 Hurricanes.
		Hurricane intensities are uncertain and justify the use of worst-case scenario planning for hurricane preparedness.
