Re: Saffir Simpson scale question

What do you mean? I don't understand.

Now, here's my question... what is the rational behind the size of the bins for the Saffir-Simpson scale.... I mean, wouldn't it have made more sense to make them the same size? See below:
Cat 1 74-95 mph (21)
Cat 2 96-110 mph (14)
Cat 3 111-130 mph (19)
Cat 4 131-155 mph (24)
Cat 5 >155 mph
