'Now is the time': Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale
PositiveScience
A new hurricane classification scale may be introduced to better account for storm surge and rainfall risks, which contribute to the majority of hurricane-related deaths. This change aims to improve preparedness for future storms.
Editor’s Note: Introducing a new hurricane category could significantly enhance public safety by providing clearer information about the dangers of storms. By focusing on storm surge and rainfall, which are often overlooked, this scale could help communities better prepare and respond to hurricanes.
