Scott criticised me for not getting my fact from NOAA , well here they are .

Lives being saved by pre warning yes, but so little damage to wooden structure and trees with a cat5 ? Yeah right.

"Moving on to the actual science" is a surprising change. And, yes, I'm very familiar with the Saffir-Simpson Scale, thanks. The scale is set by measured wind speeds and describes *potential* damage of each category. Tornado strength is categorized post-hoc by the damage caused; hurricane strength is not. It is a fact that Patricia was the strongest hurricane on record in the region.

Given this sudden interest in science then the link to an actual scientist's article should be more pertinent than the drivel leaking from a snivelling ignoramus like James Delingpole.

Here is some more simple science:
