Re: Saffir-Simpson Scale
Tue Oct 25 2005 02:05 PM

I saw an intersting article the other day about a possible change to the category system for hurricanes. Basically, there is a proposal to make a decimal system, so that we could have a Category 4.3 and a Category 4.8 as two different strength systems.

This article describes both the history of the scale and the proposal for a new category system: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9767275/
