Saffir-Simpson Scale All hurricanes are dangerous, but some more so than others. The way storm surge, wind, and other factors combine determines the hurricane's destructive power. To make comparisons easier-and to make the predicted hazards of approaching hurricanes clearer to emergency forces-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's hurricane forecasters use a disaster-potential scale which assigns storms to five categories. Category 1 is a minimum hurricane; category 5 is the worst case. The criteria for each category in the table shown below: Category Central Pressure Maximum Winds Storm Surge Tropical Depression   38 mph / 34 kts or less 4-5 ft. Tropical Storm > 980 mb or 28.94 in 39-73 mph or 34-63 kts 4-5 ft. 1 - Minimal < 980 mb or 28.94 in 74-95 mph or 64-83 kts 4-5 ft. 2 - Moderate 965-979 mb or 28.50-28.91 in 96-110 mph or 65-96 kts 6-8 ft. 3 - Extensive 945-964 mb or 27.91-28.47 in 111-130 mph or 97-113 kts 9-12ft. 4 - Extreme 920-944 mb or 27.17-27.88 in 131-155 mph or 114-135 kts 13-18 ft. >5 - Catastrophic < 920 mb or 27.17 in > 155 mph or 135 kts > 18 ft.   * - The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is based on Windspeed alone, the pressures are only included as a general reference and may not always apply
