It seems that you have asked about "CAT hurricane" and motels in Florida, but the phrase is not very clear. So, I will try to answer both possibilities
1. CAT Hurricane (Category Hurricane)
If you mean by "CAT hurricane", this generally means a hurricane categorized on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which is a system used to classify hurricanes based on their wind speed. The categories are as follows:
Category 1 (CAT 1): Winds 74-95 mph
Category 2 (CAT 2): Winds 96-110 mph
Category 3 (CAT 3): 111-129-mph winds
Category 4 (CAT 4): 130-156-mph winds
Category 5 (CAT 5): 157+ mph
Generally, Florida is battered by hurricanes, and during this season-a June to November period-the best thing you can do is be prepared in case it happens. As for motels in Florida during a hurricane, well, it would do good to inquire if such motels follow hurricane plans, emergency procedure plans, or evacuation policy. A few may provide shelter or accommodations, especially when the hurricane is expected to hit a place, but safety should be first above anything else.
2. Florida Motels During a Hurricane
If you are referring to motels in Florida that would be safe to stay in through a hurricane, they must be hurricane-rated and even located in areas not quite so prone to flooding. Many motels or hotels would temporarily close or evacuate guests in the event of the expected landfall of any Category 3 or above major storm. The smaller or more out-of-the-way motels that could be well inland might possibly stay open.
Important Tips
Always check the Florida Emergency Management website or local government sites for the most current information on evacuation orders, if applicable.
If one is staying in Florida in hurricane season, be sure an emergency plan is on hand. Know the nearest shelter assignment.
Some motels/hotels may have storm evacuation discounts or even act as shelters in the case of a storm. Ask when the reservation is made.
If you're thinking of something else or a different context, feel free to clarify!
