Should there be a Category 6 for extremely powerful hurricanes?

Scientists behind a new study are proposing adapting the scale that measures the intensity of hurricanes to account for stronger storms. On Monday, a pair of scientists published a research article exploring the "growing inadequacy" of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale and possibly adding a Category 6. The Saffir-Simpson scale currently goes from Category 1 to 5, with a Category 5 hurricane packing sustained winds of 157 mph or greater. The study, published on Feb. 5, explores the "growing ....
