Definitely not used to a cat 5 storm! I did go through Andrew in '92 and it was still a cat 5 even when it hit Louisiana after hitting Florida. What the people here in Waco have never experienced, and are about to experience, is something on the level of a tropical storm. Sustaining winds up to 70 mph, power outages, some street flooding, trees down, etc. Those things I have experienced several times. I'm sure you have, too, as well as Alikat, Owen, and others.
