I mean, you can ask the meteorologists about the process of naming, but those hurricanes actually existed, on the dates suggested, so I'm not sure what's "fishy" about it.

Hurricane Tammy, Cat 2, October 18, 2023: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Tammy

Hurricane Otis, Cat 5, October 22, 2023: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Otis

I believe that the naming relates to which ocean they're forming in, but it's probably good for you to do your own research, so you can clear up any "fishiness" yourself.



I think the poster is suggesting that the Cat 5 should also count as a Cat 2 as Cat 5 is stronger than Cat 2.
