A handful of super powerful tropical storms in the last decade and the prospect of more to come has a couple of experts proposing a new category of whopper hurricanes:

In a new study, two climate scientists propose a sixth category for storms with winds that exceed 192 miles per hour.

Five hurricanes have packed winds topping 192 mph in recent years. But would adding a Category 6 help communicate the risks?

For more than 50 years, the National Hurricane Center has used the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to communicate the risk of property damage; it labels a hurricane on a scale from Category 1 (wind speeds between 74 – 95 mph) to Category 5 (wind speeds of 158 mph or greater).

“Record wind speeds will likely continue to be broken as the planet continues to warm,” the pair wrote in a new paper.
