- Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based only on a hurricane's maximum sustained wind speed This scale does not take into account other potentially deadly hazards such as storm surge, rainfall flooding, and tornadoes

Saffir based the scale on wind speeds Simpson added storm surges and other effects, then began using the scale in 1973 Decades later, the other effects were dropped, so today the scale once again is based on wind speeds alone Category 1 begins with winds of 74 miles per hour
