The Saffir-Simpson scale

Hurricanes are rated 1 to 5 by their strongest sustained winds.

Category	Winds		Damage
1	74–95 mph	119–153 km/h	Very dangerous winds will produce some damage
2	96–110 mph	154–177 km/h	Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage
3	111–129 mph	178–208 km/h	Devastating damage will occur (a major hurricane)
4	130–156 mph	209–251 km/h	Catastrophic damage will occur
5	157 mph or higher	252 km/h or higher	Catastrophic damage; most of the area uninhabitable for weeks or months

Hurricane, typhoon or cyclone?

They are the same kind of storm: a spinning, warm-core system that feeds on warm ocean water. Over the North Atlantic and the eastern and central North Pacific it’s a hurricane; over the western North Pacific a typhoon; over the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific a cyclone. Below 39 mph (63 km/h) it’s a tropical depression.

For official forecasts and warnings, follow your national weather service (in the U.S., the National Hurricane Center).
