Weather guru Jeff Masters:
"Any move to expand the #SaffirSimpson scale would have to come from the NHC, and there is little support for such a move from the experts there that I have heard from.

However, talking about hypothetical #Category6 storms is a valuable communication strategy for policymakers and the public, because it is important to understand how much more damaging these new #superstorms can be."
