Saffir–Simpson scale
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir%E2%80%93Simpson%20scale
The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS), formerly the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale (SSHS), classifies hurricanes – Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones – that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms – into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds.
Saffir–Simpson scale
The classifications can provide some indication of the potential damage and flooding a hurricane will cause upon landfall.
Saffir–Simpson scale
Category 5 is the highest category of the Saffir–Simpson scale.
Saffir–Simpson scale Category 5
The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS) classifies hurricanes that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. The classifications can provide some indication of the potential damage and flooding a hurricane will cause upon landfall. Category 5 is the highest category of the Saffir–Simpson scale. For a Category 5 hurricane, the wind speeds are ≥ 70 m/s, ≥ 137 kn, ≥ 157 mph, and ≥ 252 km/h.
