of Sciences argues that hurricanes are getting so powerful due to climate change that the

upper limit of the Safier Simpson Hurricane Wind scale, category 5, is out of date.

They propose adding a category 6 label to any tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least

192 miles per hour, probably faster than

most Ferraris, lead author Michael Werner said. The scientists found that five

storms would have exceeded a hypothetical category six and they've all occurred since 2013.

Toby, you grew up in hurricane country.

I think we need a cat six designation.

I mean, cat six definitely adds a certain weight to these storms which are just

getting bigger and bigger it's also definitely part of a push to kind of

Europe started naming heat waves there were two that they called

Serberis in Chiron I don't know someone's got to double check my my Greek

just a proposal the officials are not
