Oh shite 17 hurricanes, I saw on the news that some are category 6 or more must be scary as hell. Some insurance companies are refusing to insure the properties and if they do it is an expensive policy

[Fandango 1,440]

You don't want it to become a full-fledged hurricane or you never hear the end of the tired jokes... Category 4 Hurricane Frances ripped through Florida twice in 2004 and I had to hear ALLLL about it for weeks... blah...

category 5 is as high as the ranking goes, from what i've seen.

From http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Science/story?id=1986862&page=1

May 21, 2006 — There is no official Category 6 for hurricanes, but scientists say they're pondering whether there should be as evidence mounts that hurricanes around the world have sharply worsened over the past 30 years — and all but a handful of hurricane experts now agree this worsening bears the fingerprints of man-made global warming.

In fact, say scientists, there have already been hurricanes strong enough to qualify as Category 6s. They'd define those as having sustained winds over 175 or 180 mph. A couple told me they'd measured close to 200 mph on a few occasions.

The Saffir-Simpson hurricane category scale is based on wind speed: A Category 1 hurricane has sustained winds from 74 to 95 mph, Category 2 has sustained winds from 96 to 110 mph, Category 3 has sustained winds from 111 to 130 mph, Category 4 has sustained winds from 131 to 155, and a Category 5 storm has sustained winds greater than 155 mph.

The categories run in roughly 20 mph increments, so a Cat 6 would be greater than 175 or 180 mph.

I might arrive in Puerto Rico in the middle of hurrican season. Luis says that over there it's quite amazing to see them, but that I shouldn't be worried as they're so used to them that nothing bad ever happens.
