Researchers at the University of South Florida want to reimagine the way we categorize hurricanes. Currently, they’re rated on a scale of one to five based solely on wind speed. But Jennifer Collins, a professor of geosciences at U-S-F, says there are two other factors that need to be considered that may be even more important.
Cut 10 (09) “…from wind alone.”
Collins says factoring in rainfall and storm surge would allow forecasters to give a much more accurate threat level for each storm.
Cut 11 (07) “…an overall category.”
The overall category would normally be the highest value of the three ratings. But Collins says in certain instances, a storm could be rated as a category six.
Cut 12 (10) “…a cat five.”
An example of a Category Six storm would be Hurricane Wilma from 2005 – it was a Category Four for wind speed and a Category Five for both rainfall and storm surge. Collins says she and her fellow researchers are planning on presenting their proposal to the National Hurricane Center in the near future.
