Science: What Is A ‘Category 5’ Hurricane Really? (Video)
September 20, 2017
We’ve been hit with hurricanes these past few weeks (Harvey, Irma)… hit badly. And it was reported that the weather events reached Category 5. But what does that mean actually? Anyone?
Hurricanes roll up the Atlantic basin every year, but they weren’t categorized until 1971. The system, called the Saffir-Simpson Scale, tracks wind speed, damage caused, power and water loss expected, and habitability of affected areas. Category 1 storms are usually the least destructive, with the scale topping out at Category 5 storms, which can cause areas to be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

BLITZ – 4/28/11: Thursday Thunder
April 28, 2011
It’s been a thunderous early Thursday morning in more ways than one….Massive tornados & thunder storms across the southern U.S. & even the OKC Thunder whipped up on the Denver Nuggets in the NBA playoffs. I can go on with the ‘Thunderous Tornado-like’ comparisons but I’ll just stop there. Time for the BLITZ! Fly into it…..
