Sounds like a bad storm but I don't think it was a category 5 hurricane...or even a hurricane for that matter. Have ya ever been in a category 5 hurricane, or living in Utah, a category 1. If it was a category 5 your patio roof would have collapsed....about 6 or 8 houses down from you.
CATOGORIES) Winds, Effects & Surges

No real damage to building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Also, some coastal flooding and minor pier damage.
2) 96-110 mph
(83-95 kt) 6-8 ft
Some roofing material, door, and window damage. Considerable damage to vegetation, mobile homes, etc. Flooding damages piers and small craft in unprotected moorings may break their moorings.
3) 111-130 mph

Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Flooding causes major damage to lower floors of all structures near the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas may be required.
It sounds like (at the most) you were in a category 2. My opinion was that it was just a bad storm. Still, hope everyone is ok even a small storm should not be taken lightly.
