It is not just whether it makes them worse but also whether it makes them more frequent. If the country is experiencing more highly damaging storms who cares whether they're category 3 or not?

And, also whether it changes where they occur, since places where they have usually occurred are more likely to be adapted to them.

It's a good thing practically no large cities are built around ocean ports, or else it would be real cause for concern that even minor storms becoming frequent could wreak havoc.
