I just checked the October summary for hurricanes at the NHC...it doesn't say anything about Cat 1:
Quote: THE HURRICANE STRENGTHENED AS IT APPROACHED THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA COAST...AND IT MADE LANDFALL NEAR CAPE ROMANO ON 24 OCTOBER WITH CATEGORY 3 INTENSITY. THE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD...CROSSING FLORIDA IN LESS THAN 5 HOURS. WILMA MOVED INTO THE ATLANTIC JUST TO THE NORTH OF PALM BEACH AS A CATEGORY 2 HURRICANE. IT REGAINED CATEGORY 3 STATUS JUST OFF THE CENTRAL EAST COAST OF FLORIDA...AND GRADUALLY WEAKENED THEREAFTER.
