NO SURPRISE: Netanyahu rejects Hamas demands to hostage deal

With this in mind, the two authors of the study, Dr. Michael Wehner and Dr. Jim Kossin — both leading researchers at the intersection of hurricane and climate change research — investigate the question of whether it’s time to add another category — a Category 6 with winds of 192 mph or greater — to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
