What is a name for a super hurricane?

While there are 'Super Typhoons' in the Pacific, there are no equivalent 'Super Hurricanes' in the Atlantic. This is not a question of size of storm, just of nomenclature. A Typhoon becomes 'Super' when its winds get above 150 mph. This is equivalent to a strong Category 4 Hurricane. So a 'Super Hurricane' would effectively be a Category 4 or 5 Hurricane. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) does use the term 'Major Hurricane', but applies this to any storm over Category 3. So there's no direct equivalence between a 'Super Typhoon' and a 'Major Hurricane': they overlap but not perfectly. Previously, in the 50s and 60s the term 'Great Hurricane' was used instead of 'Major'.

Hurricane Sandy was an unusually large and powerful storm and its great destructive potential was recognized days before its final landfall. Sandy merged with a non-tropical storm system in a manner similar to the Perfect Storm of 1991 and it technically was no longer a hurricane when it made landfall in New Jersey.
