Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale

Up here, Sandy was a cat 2 or 3, but caused 70 billion dollars’ worth of damage, and killed a couple hundred people. Water did most of that damage.

But about 30 years ago, Andrew swept across Florida like a giant roomba, and did a huge amount of damage. It was a cat 5. Wind did most of the damage.

Not sure how they would reconcile these two types of mega-storms.

It's completely unacceptable to attack a fellow HN user like this, repeatedly over an extended period of time. It creates a feeling of stalking and persistent harassment, and we cannot let that kind of behaviour continue without consequence. We'll have to ban the account if it happens again. You've made plenty of positive contributions to HN, so we don't want to ban you, but this pattern of behaviour has to stop immediately and permanently.
