Last I heard from weather people, cat 6 is not really needed, wonder if that changed recently.

With NOAA's cuts, the only way I think cat 6 will be add is Trump wants to be the one to create that level and scientists state it is not really needed :)

The title is wrong, this is about using a completely different scale system.

I read the article and with the title in mind, it made no sense. So I defaulted to the title.
