what we're talking about here and know the difference between a cat 1 and a cat 5. back in 1970s the experts came up with something called the saffi-simpson scale which measure the sustained wind speeds. cat 5, they've got sustained winds of 170 miles per hour or more. of course, they're also pretty rare. 35 formed in the atlantic in the last 93 years and only three of those actually made land fall in the u.s. as cat 5 storms. we had the so-called labor day hurricane of 1935 and then more than 30 years later. but the most recent storm, that's probably the most memorable, one most people think of, hurricane andrew, roared ashore back in 1992. andrew battered the bahamas and then slammed into south florida. the sustained winds were somewhere in the area of
