If you’ve ever wondered how meteorologists assign a Cat-egory to hurricanes here is the wind chart they use for reference:

 

 

 

           

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAT 1  –  74-95 mph

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

CAT 2  –  96-110 mph

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

CAT 3 –  111-129 mph

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

CAT 4  – 130-156 mph

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAT 5  –  157 mph or higher

 

 

 

 

When a storm is coming just watch your cat and you’ll know which way the wind is blowing and when to head for shelter – your built-in weather forcaster!
