Well Rita made landfall as a "weakening" Cat 3. Laura is projecting to be strengthening Cat 3 upon landfall. I would be proceed with caution in saying something like that.

Rita also pushed a lot more water for a longer period of time
There is a difference between a major hurricane that is strengthening at landfall and one that is weakening at landfall. While a weaking storm may not have the wind speeds and pressure that a strengthening storm has, as it weakens, and the convection begins to break down/collapse, it serves to widen the wind field of the hurricane, and sometimes slow it down. While the winds may be lower, they are still hurricane force and are spread out over a greater area. Wind moves water, and if the winds are wider spread, they can move more water, causing greater storm surge.
A strengthening storm, while having high winds and lower pressure is often not as large as a weakening major hurricane. They also tend to move faster.

I was reading the Hurricane Rita storm report earlier today and was surprised that the highest measured sustained wind was 82 knots (94 mph) and highest gust was 116 knots (133 mph). However, many instruments failed due to surge or other reasons.
The wind speed the NHC puts out for each advisory is only seen in a tiny tiny band right by the eye. Rita was weakening pretty good and made landfall kind of in no man's land. But when they say a hurricane has 125 mph winds it doesn't mean that wind speed is wide spread. Those max winds cover a very small area. And a lot of times they fluff up the wind speed a little especially with weakening storms.

Winds measured on land - not by recon

I temember all kinds of wild rumors during the post-Rita information blackout. One was that the I-10 overpass at Iowa had been knocked down

Is BR going to get enough rain to cancel shite? I have a conference Thursday I’d really like to see canceled
If this winds up being as similar to Rita as it looks right now, BR is gonna get hit pretty good by some strong bands. AKA not life threatening but conference canceling strength

I'm not familiar with him. I saw some of his stuff being retweeted by other weather folks I do follow. That called shot just seemed prematurely fear inducing with the part about Houston ya know?

Some thoughts ahead of the 10p update: The storm's center appears to be clearly north of the forecast track at this point as the eye continues to form. Will these lead to a shift back to the east with the next model suite? Not necessarily, but it's possible. #ArLaMsWx #Laura

Baton Rouge got 9.3 inches of rain from Rita's rain bands. Right now Baton Rouge is projected to get an inch of rain. If Baton Rouge doesn't get hit with rain bands Baton Rouge won't get any wind either. The wind is in the rain bands.

What’s Brett Adair and his gigantic balls up to for this storm?

You don’t have a setup like that and not have a Foot switch setup
