Yes, category 5 hurricanes are the most intense and destructive hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. They are characterized by winds exceeding 157 mph and causing catastrophic damage to structures and infrastructure.
Yes, hurricanes are rated on a scale known as the Saffir-Simpson scale and are can be anywhere from a Category 1-5. Below are the sustained wind speeds in mph and their ratings: Category I - 74 - 95 Category II - 96 - 110 Cateogry III - 111 - 130 Category IV - 131 - 155 Category V - greater than 155
Category 5 hurricanes are the strongest and generally the most destructive. Though there are exceptions. Hurricane Katrina was the most damaging hurricane in history. Although it was a category 5 at one point it had weakened to a category 3 by landfall.
No. Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale is open-ended, anything with wind over 155 mph is a category 5.
A category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of 156 mph or greater.

How are hurricanes identified?
Hurricanes are identified by sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h). They are further categorized based on their wind speed: Category 1 (74-95 mph), Category 2 (96-110 mph), Category 3 (111-129 mph), Category 4 (130-156 mph), and Category 5 (157 mph or higher). Satellite technology, aircraft reconnaissance, and ground-based weather stations are used to monitor and track hurricanes.

What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
