The current hurricane scale might be putting lives in danger — and most people don’t even know it. The Saffir-Simpson Scale only measures wind speed, but 80% of hurricane-related deaths come from storm surge and rainfall.
In this video, we break down why experts are calling for a new system — one that includes all three major hazards: wind, rain, and storm surge. It's called the Tropical Cyclone Severity Scale (TCSS), and it could be the key to saving lives in future storms.
We’ll also revisit real-life disasters like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Florence, where low category numbers masked the true danger.
