That means, if you double the speed, you quadruple the force.
A 150 mph hurricane will cause 4 times the force (damage?) as a 75 mph hurricane.
I´m from Argentina. I've been reading this site or a year o so, I found very interest track those canes.
Regarding this...I think a 150mph hurricane has 4 times the FORCE as a 75 mph hurricane BUT NOT 4 times more DAMAGE, a lot more than 4 times....
Lets analyze only the damage from winds and not the storm surge:
Every "damageable" object (houses, trees, signs, power lines, etc) has a force troubleshot (the force that can take without collapse); if the force of the hurricane maintains below that force the damages are minimal otherwise the force of the hurricane will made the object collapse and the damages will be max.
