Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale
A simple wind-speed scale became the lifeline for millions facing hurricane fury
9 days ago
0
Why does the Saffir-Simpson scale focus exclusively on wind speed rather than including storm surge or rainfall?
Because storm surge and rainfall are not dangerous components of hurricanes.
Because wind speed provides a standardized, measurable indicator of hurricane intensity that can be quickly communicated.
Because measuring storm surge and rainfall is impossible during hurricanes.
