Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (597 words)
	Unlike the Saffir-Simpson Scale, severity categories are based on strongest wind gusts and not sustained winds.
	Severity categories are scaled somewhat lower than the Saffir-Simpson Scale, with a severity category 2 tropical cyclone being roughly equivalent to a Saffir-Simpson category 1 hurricane.
	It does not take into account rainfall or location, which means a Category 3 hurricane that hits a major city will likely do far more damage than a Category 5 hurricane that hits a rural area.
