What is the reasoning? Is it still pushing a bigger surge?
Yes to the surge. In addition, a 5 to 3 is usually a much larger hurricane than a 1 to a 3 since it has likely undergone multiple eyewall replacements (weakens the storm but makes it larger).
Wind matter but size matters too. Katrina was only a 3 when it hit NOLA but it was a large storm...
