Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale

CategorySustained windsDamage
Tropical Depression≤ 38 mphHeavy rain and flooding are the main threat.
Tropical Storm39–73 mphDamaging winds, heavy rain, dangerous surf and rip currents.
Category 174–95 mphVery dangerous winds will produce some damage to roofs, siding and trees; power outages likely.
Category 296–110 mphExtremely dangerous winds: major roof and siding damage, many trees uprooted, near-total power loss for days to weeks.
Category 3 (major)111–129 mphDevastating damage: well-built homes may lose roof decking; electricity and water unavailable for days to weeks.
Category 4 (major)130–156 mphCatastrophic damage: severe damage to homes, most trees snapped, areas uninhabitable for weeks or months.
Category 5 (major)≥ 157 mphCatastrophic damage: a high percentage of framed homes destroyed; areas uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Storm surge and inland flooding cause most hurricane deaths — even a tropical storm or a Category 1 hurricane can be deadly.

Hurricane preparedness checklist

  • Know your zone. Find out if you live in a hurricane evacuation zone and plan where you would go.
  • Build a kit. Water (1 gallon per person per day for several days), non-perishable food, medicines, flashlight, batteries, phone chargers, important documents in a waterproof bag.
  • Follow official updates. National Hurricane Center (nhc.noaa.gov) advisories, your local NWS office and emergency management.
  • Secure your home. Bring in outdoor furniture, install storm shutters or board up windows, clear gutters and drains.
  • Evacuate when told. Leave early if officials order an evacuation; never drive through flooded roads.
  • After the storm. Stay away from downed power lines and flood water, and never run a generator indoors (carbon monoxide).

This tracker uses automated international data (GDACS) and may differ from the National Hurricane Center. Always follow official NHC advisories and your local authorities.
