Harvey is only 4th Cat 4-5 US hurricane landfall since 1970. Other 3: Hugo, Andrew and Charley. 14 Cat 4-5 US landfalls from 1926-1969.

Before Harvey, the US had gone for 4,323 days without a hurricane in Category 3 or above making landfall, the longest period on record. But as well as its unprecedented rainfall, Harvey broke other unwelcome records, including persisting as a named storm longer than any other after making landfall in Texas.
