Should there be a new CAT-6 Hurricane Category? Fred Pickhardt

Hurricanes are a part of life for coastal communities, but what happens when the storms we thought we understood get a whole lot worse? Recently, a 2024 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences proposed something that might seem shocking: a new Category 6 for the most intense tropical cyclones, with wind speeds starting at 193 mph.
At first glance, this might seem like a natural step in the face of increasingly severe weather driven by climate change. But a closer look reveals a deeper conversation with a surprising twist: some experts say a new category might not actually help.
Current Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale
The case for Category 6
Researchers behind the 2024 study argue that the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which currently maxes out at Category 5 (for any storm with sustained winds of 157 mph or greater), is no longer sufficient. Their motivation is to more accurately communicate the extreme risks associated with today’s most powerful storms.
If a Category 6 were adopted, it would be reserved for the most extreme events. In fact, based on data from 1980 to 2021, the 2024 study identified five storms that would have met the criteria:
- Super Typhoon Haiyan (2013): Struck the Philippines with 196 mph winds.
- Hurricane Patricia (2015): Reached peak winds of 215 mph at sea in the Eastern Pacific.
- Super Typhoon Meranti (2016): Had winds of 196 mph between the Philippines and Taiwan.
- Super Typhoon Goni (2020): Made landfall in the Philippines with winds estimated at 196 mph.
- Super Typhoon Surigae (2021): Reached wind speeds of 196 mph over the ocean east of the Philippines.
The argument against a new category
Despite the scientific motivation, the National Hurricane Center has not adopted Category 6, citing concerns that it could complicate public messaging.
- Catastrophic is still catastrophic: One key argument is that the difference in damage between a high-end Category 5 and a high-end Category 6 is not meaningfully different in terms of public action. Both result in catastrophic destruction that requires immediate evacuation from vulnerable areas.
- Damage is already “total”: Robert Simpson, a co-creator of the scale, argued that Category 6 is unnecessary because Category 5 already represents “total destruction”. The scale was designed to measure potential damage, and that potential doesn’t escalate in a way that warrants a new category once winds surpass the Cat 5 threshold.
It’s also important to note that the Saffir-Simpson scale is currently only used for hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific and 4 of the 5 noted storms in the study occurred in the western North Pacific and only one occurred in the eastern Pacific. To date, there have been no storms in the Atlantic that would have reached this level.
Global activity vs. increasing intensity.
So, what about climate change’s role in all of this? While you might assume we are seeing an overall increase in hurricane frequency, the reality is more nuanced. Data from climate scientist Ryan Maue, featured on climatlas.com/tropical, reveals no significant global trend in the number of hurricanes or major hurricanes over the long term. In fact, Maue has highlighted periods of notably low global hurricane activity. A 2022 study also found a decreasing trend in global hurricane numbers from 1990 to 2021.
The real story isn’t about more storms, but stronger ones. Climate change could fuel future more destructive hurricanes with stronger winds, higher storm surges, and heavier rainfall. Warmer ocean temperatures provide more energy for storms. This supercharges the storms, leading to increased intensity. Time will tell.
What does this mean for us?
The debate over Category 6 highlights a critical challenge: how do we best communicate the evolving risks of climate change? While adding a new category might sound alarming, it could also provide a more accurate picture of the intensity of a small minority of intense storms. For the Atlantic and East Pacific basins where the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is used, there has only been one storm that reached this category in the eastern Pacific, and none have yet reached this level in the Atlantic.

It’s Official: Cruising Is Unfashionable in Florida – Peter Swanson
Cruisers Net publishes Loose Cannon articles with Captain Swanson’s permission in hopes mariners with salt water in their veins will subscribe.. $7 a month or $56 for the year and you may cancel at anytime.
There was a subsequent correction published to this post:
New Anchoring Law Does Not Automatically Limit You to 30 Days.
Thanks to keen-eyed reader Sean Welsh, we’ve corrected a factual error in today’s Florida anchoring law story. The story was corrected to reflect that anchoring is not limited to 30 days automatically in Florida’s biggest four counties. The law gives the counties power to enact limits affecting anyone who has been anchored in the jurisdiction for 30 days. Depending on the will of local authorities it could very well be that you must leave after the 30-day limit, however.
When all else fails, try journalism.
It’s Official: Cruising Is Unfashionable in Florida
Anchoring Restricted Because, Yes, Sailboats Are Unsightly and Bad for Safety and the Environment
Among other things, HB 481 designates the sections of Biscayne Bay lying between Palm Island and Star Island, between Palm Island and Hibiscus Island, between Palm Island and Watson Island, between Sunset Island I and State Road 112, and between the Sunset Islands as anchoring limitation areas. “Time to move along, old-timer. Your 30 days are up.”
The state of Florida has officially taken sides. Cruisers are out of favor and need stricter regulations. Center-console people have become the cool kids and deserving of “freedom.”
On Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law House Bill 481 which expands an anchoring ban to even more of the waters at Miami Beach waters and limits anchoring to 30 days in a six-month period in Florida’s four most populous counties. This law was directed at liveaboard sailors in particular because their vessels are deemed most likely to eventually become derelict.
The law also increases from 100 feet to 300 feet the distance from the marked boundary of a public mooring field where boats cannot anchor.
Boating coalitions argued that local authorities could use existing Florida laws to prevent vessels from becoming derelict instead of passing new restrictions on anchoring. Proponents—including bill sponsor Miami Republican Rep. Vicki Lopez—shrewdly framed the issue in terms of safety and environmental protection.
“Current legislation leaves gaps that threaten the well-being of boaters and the health of our marine ecosystem,” Lopez said. By boaters, Lopez may be referring to the folks that own center-consoles, which they keep on a dock in front of their waterfront homes. These elite property owners have been the driving force behind a perpetual bid against anchoring in Florida.
On Monday, the governor signed the “Boater Freedom Act,” which forbids Florida police from pulling over and boarding recreational vessels without probable cause that a violation has occurred. Sure, this change applies to sailboats and trawlers, too, but in practice the vast majority of boaters being pulled over for safety checks were operating…you know it…center-consoles. That’s because there are so many more of them.
No More Random Police Stops on Florida Waters, Unless by the Coast Guard
·May 20Read full story Florida center-console people often recreate in celebratory herds during events such as Boater Skip Day, sandbar rallies and boat parades for Donald Trump. On these occasions, it is also all-hands-on-deck for the water cops. Alas, they will now have to witness real-time idiocy before they can motor over close enough to catch a whiff of alcohol.
Meanwhile, in Miami-Dade, Broward (Ft. Lauderdale), Hillsborough (Tampa) and Palm Beach counties, the message will be, “Time to move along, old-timer. Your 30 days are up.”

Respect for Existing Copyright
You must be the original author of everything in your video or have permission to use copyright-protected material. Be creative but think carefully about what you put into the video.
If you are considering using existing music, video clips, photos, etc., it is very likely that someone else owns a copyright to that material. In this case, be sure to obtain the copyright owner’s written permission before using the material in your video.
All music basically contains two copyrights: the sound recording and the underlying song composition (music publishing rights). In a video where you are using a cover song, you need to negotiate a synchronization license.
Most of these will go through the Harry Fox Agency. However, many music publishers have entered into license agreements with YouTube permitting the use of the songs they control in exchange for a percentage of any advertising revenues.
So, in some cases, YouTube has already obtained an agreement with the music publisher, so you would be OK covering the song. To determine whether or not a publisher is participating in an agreement with YouTube, you can contact the publisher directly. Publisher contact information may be found at ASCAP or BMI.
You can also go to one of the royalty-free music sites and buy a track for a couple bucks that you can use all you want (e.g., incompetech.com, audimicro.com, etc.). With all that having been said, we do prefer original music, even if you are just humming…
Photo Contest
Pictures can include couples sailing, families sailing, Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages (KLSC) activities (non-sailing), sailing lessons, etc. There will be a voting period on our Facebook page where the owner of the photo with the most “Likes” will get a free 3-night stay at KLSC. There is no limit to the number of photos entered. To our guests who didn’t join the previous contests, this is your chance!
Make sure to include captions with your submissions. Add the dates you stayed, in which cottage, and under whose name it was reserved. If you send several emails, include this information in each one.
Terms:
- Winner must be 25 years of age or older.
- Winner can choose the dates from August 1st to December 15th for their stay (holidays not included).

What We’re Thankful For This Thanksgiving – Key Lime Sailing Club, Key Largo, FL

Celebrating Thanksgiving with Dolphins and Sunsets
Thanksgiving at Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages was a day to remember! We’re thankful for our amazing guests, the outstanding job of the KLSC crew, with a special thanks to Jen, the joy of new friendships, and the beauty of dolphins swimming by as we shared a feast. The sunset capped off a perfect day. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving—join us next year to make more memories! Dolphins, sunsets, and a feast to remember— see our Thanksgiving highlights on Facebook!
The Wampanoag and Thanksgiving
Did you know that the Wampanoag, whose history dates back 12,000 years, were made up of 67 villages across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, and played a vital role in the Pilgrims’ survival? During the harsh winter of 1620-1621, they taught the settlers essential farming and fishing skills, laying the foundation for what we now celebrate as the first Thanksgiving. In the autumn of 1621, about 90 Wampanoag joined 52 settlers for a three-day feast featuring venison, wildfowl such as ducks and geese, cod, bass, and flint corn. While turkey may have been on the table, it wasn’t the star of the show as we think of it today. Despite their generosity, the Wampanoag faced devastating challenges in the years that followed, including disease, land conflicts, and war. Yet their legacy endures. Today, vibrant Wampanoag communities, such as the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), continue to preserve their culture, sharing traditions like the “Legends of Moshup” pageant. This Thanksgiving, let’s honor the enduring spirit and incredible contributions of the Wampanoag people.
