'''''Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage'''''

Storms of Category&nbsp;2 intensity often damage roofing material, sometimes exposing the roof, and inflict damage upon poorly constructed doors and windows. Poorly constructed signs and piers can receive considerable damage and many trees are uprooted or snapped. Mobile homes, whether anchored or not, are typically damaged and sometimes destroyed, and many [[Manufactured housing|manufactured homes]] suffer structural damage. Small craft in unprotected anchorages may break their [[Mooring (watercraft)|moorings]]. Extensive to near-total power outages and scattered loss of potable water are likely, possibly lasting many days.<ref name="NHC SSHS"/>

Hurricanes that peaked at Category&nbsp;2 intensity and made landfall at that intensity include: <!--This list only includes storms that both peaked and made landfall at Category 2 intensity. Also, please maintain a limit of 20 storms per Saffir-Simpson category, eliminating older and less notable systems as more recent storms make landfall. The reason for maintaining a limit of 20 storms is that as of October 25, 2023, there have been 19 hurricanes that have made landfall while at Category 5 strength in the Atlantic basin and one in the east Pacific, and each category should have the same number of examples to maintain consistency.-->[[Hurricane Alice (June 1954)|Alice]] (1954), [[Hurricane Ella (1958)|Ella]] (1958), [[Hurricane Ginny|Ginny]] (1963), [[Hurricane Fifi–Orlene|Fifi]] (1974), [[Hurricane Diana|Diana]] (1990), [[Hurricane Gert|Gert]] (1993), [[Hurricane Rosa (1994)|Rosa]] (1994), [[Hurricane Erin (1995)|Erin]] (1995), [[Hurricane Alma (1996)|Alma]] (1996), [[Hurricane Marty (2003)|Marty]] (2003), [[Hurricane Juan|Juan]] (2003), [[Hurricane Alex (2010)|Alex]] (2010), [[Hurricane Tomas|Tomas]] (2010), [[Hurricane Carlotta (2012)|Carlotta]] (2012), [[Hurricane Arthur|Arthur]] (2014), [[Hurricane Sally|Sally]] (2020), [[Hurricane Olaf (2021)|Olaf]] (2021), [[Hurricane Rick (2021)|Rick]] (2021), [[Hurricane Agatha|Agatha]] (2022), and [[Hurricane Francine (2024)|Francine]] (2024).
