Stumbleupon Review of : http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2007/11/cyclone_sidr_category_5.php
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center finally gave in and rated the storm at 135 knots–or 155 mile per hour winds. This is the cutoff for Category 5. There may be some weakening by landfall, but what we’re expecting is a borderline Cat 4/Cat 5 striking along the path shown above. You’ve gotta figure the storm surge is going to be more than 20 feet.
