The modified Fujita scale should answer most of the questions posted here. I never thought that the simplicity of the HurriScale would make it more complex. Must be Science!

The correct title is "Enhanced Fujita Scale", but I prefer modified.

Dr Mark Powell at the Hurricane Research Division produced this publication in 1995. The data shows that the wind damage is exponential to the wind speed.
