Hurricane Melissa Nearly Hit Category 6 — And That’s a Big Problem

Scientists are warning that Category 6 hurricanes may soon become a reality — and Hurricane Melissa might be the first of its kind. With wind speeds nearing 185 mph, Melissa devastated parts of Jamaica and Cuba, pushing the limits of the current hurricane scale. Experts say climate change is fueling stronger, faster, and deadlier storms, and the current Saffir-Simpson scale may no longer be enough to describe their true power. :tornado::water_wave:
