We mention it again because of this Weather Channel simulation of hurricanes and their various categories, which was already terrifying enough before it got to category number 5.

‘The difference between hurricane categories,’ said BeneficialSpirit7 who shared it.

‘I live in Florida and have lived through many storms including hurricane Andrew.
