Re: Saffir Simpson scale question

Is that true? I know the Richter scale is logrithmic, but I never heard that about the Saffir-Simpson scale.... That would seem logical, however, as you'd think those windspeed numbers were choosen for a reason. Not that I don't believe you, but can you send me some place to read about this...
