It kind of gives an idea of what to expect in case you decide to ride out a hurricane in your home.

There are just a few things wrong with it:
-The category 1 damage is NOT realistic. I have been through Cat. 1 force winds before and I can tell you that shingles start flying and mobile homes start being ripped apart at that level. Also, palm frawns would likely have been ripped from those trees, and palm trees may even be bent or toppled.
-The damage seems to change right at the category change. When the wind jumps from 95mph to 96mph there is all the sudden tons of damage. This is unrealistic.
Overall though it is a very cool animation.
