At present, the National Hurricane Center has had five category ratings for hurricane strength from Cat 1 to Cat 5. The NHC is now considering a Cat 6 rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale as an additional rating for hurricanes in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.

In 1973, the National Hurricane Center introduced the Saffir-Simpson scale, a five-category rating system that classified hurricanes by wind intensity.
At the bottom of the scale was Category 1, for storms with sustained winds of 74 to 95 mph. At the top was Category 5, for disasters with winds of 157 mph or more.
A Category 6 storm rating will be for sustained winds of 192 mph or more. I can't even imagine?
