I think you want to know about the Saffir Simpson Scale, there are actually there are 7 wind categories, they're listed below:
There are 5 categories from category 1 to category 5.There are 5 categories for hurricanes, 1-5 based on winds speeds and an additional 2 categories (tropical depression and tropical storm) for tropical cyclones below hurricane strength.
There are 5 categories of hurricane, with a category 1 being the weakest and a category 5 being the strongest.
Yes, typhoons are categorized based on their intensity using the Saffir-Simpson scale which ranges from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest). The categories are determined by the typhoon's sustained wind speeds.
Hurricanes are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranges from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest). Categories are based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, with Category 5 hurricanes having winds in excess of 157 mph (252 km/h).
The 5th category of a hurricane would be as winds 156 mph and up (135+ kt)Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Flooding causes major damage to lower floors of all structures near the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas may be required. Examples: Andrew(FL) 1992, Camille 1969 and Labor Day 1935.
There are 5 categories from category 1 to category 5.There are 5 categories for hurricanes, 1-5 based on winds speeds and an additional 2 categories (tropical depression and tropical storm) for tropical cyclones below hurricane strength.
Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories based on their maximum sustained wind speed: Category 1 (74-95 mph), Category 2 (96-110 mph), Category 3 (111-129 mph), Category 4 (130-156 mph), and Category 5 (157 mph or higher).

Technically there are only five categories of hurricane strength. The other levels are for systems of less than hurricane strength. These categories are determined by sustained wind speed. Below hurricane strength Tropical Depression: 38 mph or less. Tropical Storm: 39-73 mph Hurricanes Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-129 mph Category 4: 130-156 mph Category 5: 157 mph or greater.
In a hurricane, low pressure at the center causes air to rise and draw in surrounding air, creating strong wind. The wind intensity is used to categorize hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with categories ranging from 1 to 5 based on sustained wind speeds.
Hurricanes are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranges from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest). Categories are based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, with Category 5 hurricanes having winds in excess of 157 mph (252 km/h).
The Saffir-Simpson scale is a system of rating the intensity of hurricanes. A hurricane will fall into one of 5 intensity categories based on the storm's sustained wind speed.
The 5th category of a hurricane would be as winds 156 mph and up (135+ kt)Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. Flooding causes major damage to lower floors of all structures near the shoreline.
