   Could a new hurricane rating be a Category 6 storm?

   • A paper published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences lays out a framework for extending the current hurricane rating system, the Saffir-Simpson scale, with a new category for storms that have winds topping 192 miles per hour. According to the study, the world has already seen storms that would qualify as Category 6s.

   Is a Category 5 hurricane a real Hurricane?

   • With 215-mile-per-hour winds, faster than a severe tornado, the fictional Luna is the world’s first Category 6 hurricane. In the real world, Category 5 is synonymous with the biggest and baddest storms. But some U.S. scientists are making the case that it no longer captures the intensity of recent hurricanes.

   Should Category 5 hurricanes be separated into a Category 6 Hurricane?

   Is Hurricane Patricia a Category 6 cyclone?

   • Hurricane Patricia is seen in an infrared image taken by NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite as it approaches the coast of Mexico in October 2015. It would have qualified as a Category 6 storm and holds the record for the most powerful cyclone ever recorded for sustained wind speeds. (Reuters/NASA-NOAA/UW/CIMSS/William Straka III)
