The worst category of hurricane is a category 5, with winds of at least 156 mph.
true
True. Category 5 hurricanes are classified as the most destructive on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, with sustained wind speeds of 157 mph or higher. They can cause catastrophic damage to buildings, infrastructure, and ecosystems, leading to significant loss of life and economic impact. The intense winds and storm surges associated with Category 5 hurricanes make them the most dangerous type of storm.
Yes. The five categories of the Saffir-Simpson scale are based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. They are: Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-130 mph Category 4: 131-155 mph Category 5: 156+ mph
A category 1 hurricane is the weakest category of hurricane, with wind from 74 mph to 95 mph
No. Category 1 is the weakest category of hurricane. In most cases category 5 hurricanes are the worst. However, some pf the impacts of a hurricane do not necessarily depend on the storm's category.
Category 5
Category Five
true
The strongest and generally most destructive category of hurricane is category 5, though a hurricanes wind-speed based rating is not the only factor in how destructive a hurricane is.
A category 5 is the strongest hurricane. Such a storm has the strongest winds and usually produces a very high storm surge.
September has most destructive hurricanes.

The intense winds and storm surges associated with Category 5 hurricanes make them the most dangerous type of storm.
Generally, yes. Category 5 hurricanes produce the fastest winds and highest storm surges and thus can produce more damage than weaker storms.
Yes. The five categories of the Saffir-Simpson scale are based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. They are: Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-130 mph Category 4: 131-155 mph Category 5: 156+ mph
hurricanes can be both constructive or destructive.
A category 1 hurricane is the weakest category of hurricane, with wind from 74 mph to 95 mph
The Saffir-Simpson Scale is an estimate of the power of hurricanes. Their Categories are Category 1, Category 2, Category 3, Category 4, and Category 5. All of them are destructive, especially Category 3 through 5.
