The rating of a hurricane does not depend on the death toll, nor is death toll directly linked to intensity. There are many factors that influence how many a hurricane kills aside from intensity. Factors include where the storm hits, how large it is, how well-prepared the people are, and even how much rain the area has had recently. Many category 1 hurricanes do not kill anyone. Others have been very deadly. Perhaps the worst category 1 hurricane on record was Hurricane Stan in 2005, which killed more than 1,600 people.

How many times bigger is a category 6 hurricane than a category 2 hurricane?
There is no such thing as a category 6 hurricane. The maximum is category 5. This category is open-ended, meaning that once a hurricane reaches category 5 strength (sustained winds of 156 mph or greater) it is classed as a category 5 no matter how much stronger the winds are. Also, hurricanes are not rated by size. They are rated by wind speed. A stronger hurricane is not necessarily bigger. Category 2 winds are 96-110 mph. Category 5 winds are 156+ mph.
