Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale - National Hurricane Center
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based only on a hurricane's maximum sustained wind speed. This scale does not take into account other potentially deadly hazards such as storm surge, rainfall flooding, and tornadoes.

Hurricane MILTON
Milton is forecast to intensify rapidly and become a major hurricane on Monday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km). The minimum central pressure estimated from Hurricane Hunter aircraft observations is 977 mb (28.85 inches).
Hurricanes in History - National Hurricane Center
Rapid strengthening occurred, with Andrew reaching hurricane strength on the 22nd and Category 4 status on the 23rd. After briefly weakening over the Bahamas, Andrew regained Category 4 status as it blasted its way across south Florida on August 24.
Hurricane ISAAC
The cold upper-level temperatures that Isaac is forecast to traverse should help maintain enough instability such that only slow weakening is forecast through 36 h, and Isaac is expected to maintain hurricane strength through that time.
Hurricane MILTON
After landfall, Milton is forecast to cross Florida and emerge over the Atlantic waters on Thursday. Milton is expected to maintain major hurricane strength while it moves across the Gulf of Mexico and approaches the west coast of Florida.
Tropical Storm HELENE - National Hurricane Center
Helene is forecast to intensify and be near hurricane strength when it reaches the far northwestern Caribbean Sea early Wednesday. Tropical storm conditions are expected over portions of western Cuba and the northeastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula with hurricane conditions possible.
Hurricane LESLIE
Therefore, downward adjustments were made to the NHC intensity forecast and now has Leslie weakening below hurricane strength beyond 48 h. If trends continue further downward adjustments may be required in future advisories.
Hurricane MILTON (Text) - National Hurricane Center
Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida. Key Messages: 1. A large area of destructive storm surge, with highest inundations of 10 ft or greater, is expected along a portion of the west-central coast of the Florida Peninsula.
