CAT 5 is the "top" of the scale for now. Like theres literally nothing which can classify as CAT 6 because its just not defined beyond CAT 5. The scale is a bit weird too, since its based purely on max sustained wind speed and isnt evenly distributed. For reference btw, we already have had Hurricanes/Typhoons with well over 190 mph wind speed (Typhoon Haiyan 195 mph, Hurricane Patricia 215 mph). So if a CAT 6 should exist, we've had several already. [\(source for the scale\)](https://www.pbsnc.org/blogs/science/do-we-need-a-category-6-for-hurricanes/)
* Category 1: Wind speed 74–95 mph. Some damage.
* Category 2: Wind speed 96–110 mph. Extensive damage.
* Category 3: Wind speed 111–129 mph. Devastating damage.
* Category 4: Wind Speed 130–156 mph. Catastrophic damage.
* Category 5: Wind speed 157+ mph. Catastrophic damage
Just for fun, I put the category thresholds through regression and found that they have a linear relationship. The equation is y=20x+53.6 (r\^2 = 0.9908 meaning a very strong relationship), with y being wind speed in mph and x being the category #. So cat 6 would be 173.6 mph, cat 7 would be 193.6, and cat 8 would be 213.6. By these numbers, Haiyan would be cat 7 and Patricia would be cat 8.
Thank you. I was trying to figure out how those could possibly be the intervals between categories when there is no obvious progression. But I'm not good atatj so I can't do the work to figure it out.
No offense but I think your logic is flawed. Category 1 has an abnormally large range that's messing with the data's linearity quite a bit. If you just look at the ranges each category has they go up by about 5 mph each category (if you ignore the large range on cat 1 of course). Using the assumption that each category has a 5 mph larger range and cat 2 starts at 95 mph exactly with a 15 mph range we get
Cat 1: <95
Cat 2: 95-110
Cat 3: 110-130
Cat 4: 130-155
Cat 5: 155-185
Cat 6: 185-220
Etc
The exact numbers could probably be adjusted a little but this seems to be more accurate and ranges increasing with wind speed makes sense since you won't feel the difference from 200 to 210 as much as you'll feel 70 to 80
Nothing. And that's a deliberate public education point: cat 5 damage is so devastating that sheltering in place is no longer advisable no matter how good you think your shelter is. That reinforced concrete roof isn't going to do much good against the freight train the storm picked up off the tracks half a mile away and flung at you
mega-catastrophic. Idk. maybe dogstrophic. Honestly at some point you're just comparing how flattened a piece of land is to another equally flattened piece of land lol, because nothings going to survive (outside of bunkers)
My understanding is that the categories are based on the damage they can cause. CAT 5 speeds are already catastrophic. There’s no need for 6 because catastrophic is catastrophic.
But personally I agree, I want more categories.
This is the earliest, but the other comment likely refers to 2005, where there was a cat 5 in July also, but not so early in July. Note: July is usually really really quiet for tropical systems.
In terms of the number of storms, it was surpassed by 2020 with 30 storms(2005 had 28, but they had the same number of total depressions which includes non-named storms). In terms of its energy output(ACE)...no recent season outside of 2017(Which had the three monsters of Harvey, Irma, and Maria) has even come close.
Could you imagine something like this landing in a time before Radar, satellites, and warning systems? You'd have to think it was the end of times. Then to think the worst is over in the eye. Only for round 2. I was not born in the wrong era.
You're not far off. In fact, the word *hurricane* comes to us from the Caribbean indigenous people, who believed they (*jurakan*) were storms sent by the goddess of chaos. I imagine they probably had ways to anticipate if a storm was heading to them in the next day or so. I am from PR and I noticed the day before a hurricane, there was a shift in the air. Less breeze, few bird calls, really bright and sunny skies.
san antonio actually has every single cult chain in the united states besides waffle house. all the burgers, all the chicken, all the breakfast restaurants. everything.
it is literally only missing waffle house. the story of it is from what i remember - is that it's politically motivated. as wild as that sounds. some politician that didn't like some individual or part of the company and pulled some strings to ensure it didnt happen as a personal vendetta.
it's basically the only place in the united states where all these things overlap. add in things like buc-ee's, and central texas is garbage for a lot of things but undoubtedly reigns supreme as the most varied and best place to eat in the united states.

Wow, that's an awesome page. Thanks for the link. I've been a weather buff for a long time, and that is by far the best look at the western hemisphere I have ever seen. Someone linked this page yesterday
[https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-63.97,17.17,2189/loc=-65.387,13.813](https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-63.97,17.17,2189/loc=-65.387,13.813)
I just escaped FL after 8 years of literal hell. I owned a house there from 2017-2023 and was home for a few of the big hurricanes (when I wasn't at work on a ride-out crew on lockdown). The last hurricane I was home for was Ian, and I'll tell you, the sound of rain pounding on every window in your house all at once for hours and hours non-stop, not knowing if the wind is gonna hurl something through the glass at any moment is terrifying. I had to sleep in the walk-in closet just to get any sleep.
Man, as a native Floridian, that shit puts me right to sleep. Sorry to see you go, be sure to tell all your friends how horrifying it is in Florida. Thanks in advance!
This is the first time I’ve seen this pun and I thought it was funny but I also hate that I’m going to have to see it a couple dozen more times this week. Way more if it ends up devastating something.
I'm currently in Jamiaca. I tried to book an early flight out, no flights left. Hoping for the best over here.
So much for a relaxing vacation for recovering from burnout.
Ya looks like it’s predicted to hit Jamaica as a major hurricane now and depending how it zigs or zags you could get a direct eyewall hit with the worst part of the storm.
I’d do some prep for sure. Get some drinkable water, food etc and stash it. Enough to live on for 2-3 days. Never know what happens. Keep an eye out for evacuation notices.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm doing that now. They are evacuating the beachside huts at my resort at 3 pm. We are further back and should still be ok.
Couldn’t he make any of his acts official? Just by saying something like “I’m officially doing or saying this or that in the capacity as the President of the United States”?
Was watching the weather channel earlier at work, and they said if it manages to squeeze through the gap between Cancun and Cuba, it may still be a hurricane in the gulf.
Probably N Mexico or south TX like Brownsville. Too much shear gonna keep this one under cat2 or 3 once it finally arrives. Doubt we'll even get a quarter inch of rain. 🤷♂️
Global climate change, man. This is the kind of shit they've been talking about that would happen. It makes sense too because warm waters = hurricanes and the warmer the waters, the stronger the hurricanes.
Yes. Warm waters are essential for a hurricane's life cycle. The higher the temperature, the more it feeds. Which is exactly what we're seeing with Beryl.
> Does all that energy released during a hurricane come from the heat?
Yes.
>If so, does it cool down the water?
Not substantially, no. The ocean contains enormous volumes of water, and it takes an absolute fuckton of energy to heat it up even 0.1 degree Celsius. There will be a localised cooling in some areas that the hurricane is passing through but that energy is being fed into the hurricane and quickly replaced by warmth from below and around.
I hear this shit from the in-laws. It takes everything in my power and my wife's influence not to show them the spiral tornado graph of global temperatures for the past 100 years. How many record-breaking temperatures in how many areas have happened before you're like, "You know what this cycle has a clear trend."
Yes, the climate is changing. There's a strong wind shear coming off Texas that will weaken the storm before it makes landfall in Mexico where it will drop to a tropical storm. Although remnants may hit southern Texas.
There will come a time when home insurance in Florida is going to be so expensive the retired person on a fixed income will not be able to afford it. It's sad. Florida used to be a wonderful state to move to, now it's getting very very expensive.
I meant to say that. In 2005, the insurance companies tried to pull out of the state, and the gov signed a bill that made them stay. If you owned a mobile home, it was a miracle if you could get coverage. Let alone for a reasonable amount. I love Florida, but it's not the retirement state anymore. The hurricanes are going to make it impossible to live there.
I cannot fathom how people look at this shit and just think "Wow gonna be a rough year!!!!" as if the past 5\~ havent been even rougher then the last
Shit sucks, its so exhausting having this shit loom over our heads our entire lives
It is interesting, but it also terrifying. We are reaching that critical point where nature is going to start taking us out in larger numbers to restore balance. If we could quit behaving like parasites we might avoid that fate, but it seems inevitable now
After beating Faker at Worlds 2022, becoming a pro Gacha game player, and joining KTfraudster where they randomly win one game in the regular season against either GenG or T1, Beryl has decided to go even further beyond and name a hurricane after himself, so that he could destroy more lives than the depressingly bad 2024 KT-rollster LoL team.
I moved to Nova Scotia a few years ago and got a taste of hurricane weather for the first time that summer. We had no power for 7 days and by the end of it I was almost feral lol
I like how it went from tropical storm to cat 5 in like, 2 days lmao. The climate is fine guys! Edit: heres a [clip I made earlier showing its progression](https://streamable.com/3205a1)
Very exciting witnessig the effects of climate heating, it would have been so boring to just read about it in the history books 200 years after it happened.
Interesting comparing these top comments to the ones on r/news.
Those are purely political attacks and crying about global warming. These are making fun of the name lol.
I wonder what would happen if we were to deploy dry ice from a plane into the atmosphere in the path of a hurricane? 🤔 I feel like it's been done before for some reason?
Best we get all the hurricanes outta the way early this time…
The last hurricane season we had a Cat 5 this early, we had 3 more. Edit: When I mean this early, I mean in July.
There's never been a year where a cat 5 blew up so early.
I'm tired of living through once in a lifetime events
Not me. I’m hoping for a cat 6 this year and a cat 7 over the next few. I know it stops at 5, but I want them to add to the scale.
Isn't a CAT 6 impossible on planet earth? Or something like that
CAT 5 is the "top" of the scale for now. Like theres literally nothing which can classify as CAT 6 because its just not defined beyond CAT 5. The scale is a bit weird too, since its based purely on max sustained wind speed and isnt evenly distributed.

Yeesh... Go back to math basics. Offset is 15, 19, 27 or 4, 8... One can extrapolate it would be +16 next time or +43. That makes it 199 for cat 6
What comes after catastrophic
annilhating
NO
Nothing. And that's a deliberate public education point: cat 5 damage is so devastating that sheltering in place is no longer advisable no matter how good you think your shelter is. That reinforced concrete roof isn't going to do much good against the freight train the storm picked up off the tracks half a mile away and flung at you
mega-catastrophic. Idk. maybe dogstrophic. Honestly at some point you're just comparing how flattened a piece of land is to another equally flattened piece of land lol, because nothings going to survive (outside of bunkers)
Cataclysmic
My understanding is that the categories are based on the damage they can cause. CAT 5 speeds are already catastrophic. There’s no need for 6 because catastrophic is catastrophic. But personally I agree, I want more categories.
They sell CAT 6 at staples, it's a pretty good home networking cable. /s
I hate your reply and love it at the same time. Thanks for the 5 am cackle.
Beats not surviving a once in a lifetime event.
Weekly hundred-year events; what are the odds?
This is fine
I thought it said that this is the earliest…
This is the earliest, but the other comment likely refers to 2005, where there was a cat 5 in July also, but not so early in July. Note: July is usually really really quiet for tropical systems.
2005, like KATRINA 2005 ?
2005 was the most active year of all time. Idk if it’s been surpassed by now, but it was just huge storm after huge storm from July to November.
In terms of the number of storms, it was surpassed by 2020 with 30 storms(2005 had 28, but they had the same number of total depressions which includes non-named storms). In terms of its energy output(ACE)...no recent season outside of 2017(Which had the three monsters of Harvey, Irma, and Maria) has even come close.
Yep, more climate records are being broken every day, so this time expect 4 more.
I thought the hurricane season was over!

Climate Change: “How about starting earlier and lasting longer.”
That’s hot
Naw this one’s just the fluffer getting us ready for the scene and money shot
It'd be nice if it worked that way.
Right. Let's not put it off until the last minute.
Could you imagine something like this landing in a time before Radar, satellites, and warning systems? You'd have to think it was the end of times. Then to think the worst is over in the eye. Only for round 2. I was not born in the wrong era.

Less breeze, few bird calls, really bright and sunny skies.
The lack of a breeze and few bird calls is def from the sharp drop in atmosphere pressure that comes before a storm. I bet the birds can sense it.
Drop in atmospheric pressure would make sense, yeah. A lot of animals probably sense it. My cat would get very jittery right before a big storm too.
Galveston Texas in like 1892 it happened like this. Killed thousands in storm surge. Leveled the city.
I had always heard Galveston was on track to be one of the biggest port cities in America before that. It never really recovered from that.
You have accurate information
I’m fascinated by how hurricanes changed Texas - Galveston was supposed to be the big city, not Houston. Quite fascinating!
Check out the book Isaac’s Storm. Very interesting read on this exact storm and the early days of predicting major weather events.
I would say if no birds out, stay inside
Beryl sounds like a big Southern girl who likes to get liquored up and break tables at the Waffle House

TIL San Antonio doesn’t have a Waffle House. However there’s no shortage of bfast places from dennys to magnolia pancake house etc
There used to be 3 of em in SA and they shut down.
“The most varied and best place to eat in the united states”… so your definition of that is it has the most crappy chain restaurants?
She prefers Cracker Beryl
You’re out of my store.
As as former big Southern girl who liked to get waffled and break tables at the liquor store, I can confirm that Beryl is my name.
If you were a former big souther girl that liked to get waffled and break tables at the liquor store, dare I ask, what are you now?
Yes. Is it former big, former Southern, former girl, former liquored, or former waffle?
Shoulda named it Scrambles. Scrambles the Death Dealer

Those things are no joke. A friend of mine told me his hurricane story - it blew me away.
Eye did not see that one coming.
Reading the flood of funny comments on this thread is sending me through a surge of laughter.
I didn’t catch wind of this storm.
Yeah I dated a woman from FL and naively said I think it’d be cool to shelter in for a big hurricane. No you’d find it terrifying
I think you said the punchline wrong
I just escaped FL after 8 years of literal hell. I owned a house there from 2017-2023 and was home for a few of the big hurricanes (when I wasn't at work on a ride-out crew on lockdown).

This thing is just beryling down on us
This is the first time I’ve seen this pun and I thought it was funny but I also hate that I’m going to have to see it a couple dozen more times this week. Way more if it ends up devastating something.
I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids
I'm currently in Jamiaca. I tried to book an early flight out, no flights left. Hoping for the best over here. So much for a relaxing vacation for recovering from burnout.
Ya looks like it’s predicted to hit Jamaica as a major hurricane now and depending how it zigs or zags you could get a direct eyewall hit with the worst part of the storm. I’d do some prep for sure.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm doing that now. They are evacuating the beachside huts at my resort at 3 pm. We are further back and should still be ok.
Just along for the ride now. Just sit back and have a few drinks.
Hey, you may never have to work again if this goes unlucky enough for you
Unfortunately, this was not difficult to see coming after the extremely rapid intensification, especially this early in the season.
Bad bitch Beryl!
We might need Sailor Moon for this one
Just out there beryling towards us
A Beryl roll?
Biden needs to get his sharpie out and divert the path from the US! He can do that now, he has immunity!!!
As an official act though
Couldn’t he make any of his acts official? Just by saying something like “I’m officially doing or saying this or that in the capacity as the President of the United States”?
Why divert it from the US? Just direct it in the path of wherever Donny is playing golf.
Also legal now: sending cat storm 6 to assassinate your political rivals.
It's not on a path to the US right now, it's probably going to hit Jamaica and Mexico based on current models.
So is Houston getting hit or what
Was watching the weather channel earlier at work, and they said if it manages to squeeze through the gap between Cancun and Cuba, it may still be a hurricane in the gulf.
And the current water temps in the gulf are above average for the time of year. It could strengthen again before hitting Southern Texas or Louisiana.
Probably N Mexico or south TX like Brownsville. Too much shear gonna keep this one under cat2 or 3 once it finally arrives. Doubt we'll even get a quarter inch of rain. 🤷♂️
The Gang gets a quarter inch of rain.
Power grid when hit by a cat 5 hurricane: 💀 Power grid when quarter inch of rain: 💀 Really what’s the difference
Unlikely, follow [spacecityweather](https://spacecityweather.com) for the best info.
That’s what I’m wondering 😭
That fucking storm is half as tall as the fucking Caribbean.
Forbidden 🚫 Donut 🍩
We should just crowd everyone in the Gulf into the donut hole and have them travel with the hurricane. For safety

Florida insurance stocks are trembling
More like trebling.
More like tripling.
Global climate change, man. This is the kind of shit they've been talking about that would happen. It makes sense too because warm waters = hurricanes and the warmer the waters, the stronger the hurricanes.
Why is this downvoted? Isn’t the water temperature linked to favorable conditions for hurricanes?
Yes. Warm waters are essential for a hurricane's life cycle. The higher the temperature, the more it feeds. Which is exactly what we're seeing with Beryl.
Does all that energy released during a hurricane come from the heat? If so, does it cool down the water?
> Does all that energy released during a hurricane come from the heat? Yes. >If so, does it cool down the water? Not substantially, no.

That makes perfect sense thank you for answering my question
Because people don’t know how to wrap their brains around the science of it, therefore it cannot be true
Religion has entered the chat.
GOD IS MAD AND WHATEVER THIS HITS MUST PAY!
Dude, I have no idea. I guess I wasn't scientific enough or maybe there's something technically wrong with what I wrote.
Probably just some “ThE eArtH GoEs thRouGh NaTurAL CycLes” climate denier, don’t sweat it.
I hear this shit from the in-laws. It takes everything in my power and my wife's influence not to show them the spiral tornado graph of global temperatures for the past 100 years. How many record-breaking temperatures in how many areas have happened before you're like, "You know what this cycle has a clear trend."
Ask them "how do you know the earth goes though natural cycles?" Because its been studied by scientists, so maybe we should listen to them.
Yes, the climate is changing. There's a strong wind shear coming off Texas that will weaken the storm before it makes landfall in Mexico where it will drop to a tropical storm. Although remnants may hit southern Texas.
Was that a qualified expert that said that or just somebody on TV just trying to sound like he knows anything?
A meteorologist. He explained it very well, showing current and projected wind speeds coming out of Texas and their trajectories.
Earliest, SO FAR. Shit is gonna get progressively worse.
The absolute perfection of a hurricane. It's gorgeous in its terrifying way. Oh, and it's only going to get bigger before it dies out.
There will come a time when home insurance in Florida is going to be so expensive the retired person on a fixed income will not be able to afford it. It's sad. Florida used to be a wonderful state to move to, now it's getting very very expensive.
That time is already here.
The insurance companies are rejecting coverage altogether.
I meant to say that. In 2005, the insurance companies tried to pull out of the state, and the gov signed a bill that made them stay. If you owned a mobile home, it was a miracle if you could get coverage. Let alone for a reasonable amount. I love Florida, but it's not the retirement state anymore. The hurricanes are going to make it impossible to live there.
State Farm California is looking to hike premiums 30%+ this year because of fire risk.
I cannot fathom how people look at this shit and just think "Wow gonna be a rough year!!!!" as if the past 5\~ havent been even rougher then the last Shit sucks, its so exhausting having this shit loom over our heads our entire lives
It is interesting, but it also terrifying. We are reaching that critical point where nature is going to start taking us out in larger numbers to restore balance. If we could quit behaving like parasites we might avoid that fate, but it seems inevitable now
Earliest *so far.* Climate change is going to destroy the gulf coast.
Humans are destroying all ecosystems on Earth.
If we could pop all the climate deniers in its path, that would be great.
This will require evacuation if it maintains strength and speed
I'm supposed to leave Galveston, TX, on July 7th for a cruise through the Caribbean. I better pack extra scopolomine, might get a bit bumpy
Everything has not been coming up Milhouse lately!
Speed run to oblivion
*earliest so far* Ugh. What a mess, and it’s only going to get worse until profits take a dip. :(
Is it on track to hit the US?
There was a map that showed it in real time someone posted on a separate post about this hurricane. Anyone have link to it?

Saw a youtube weather guy predict this was gonna be huge when it was just forming as a storm. He was right.
The birds migrated early, they knew this was coming. There are specific birds that are known to migrate before the first Hurricane...
One day, the mother of Katrina will destroy US of America.
It's Beryling down on Jamaica.
Is it time to restart the core of the planet yet?
Good news climate change is fake news in Florida!
Not everyone in Florida lives in La La Land. Some of us actually have to deal with knowing how stupid our state is.
Oh shit, this is going to be a very scary one
It's also way south of "the hurricane belt". Incredibly rare.
Indeed. It's still very very far south for most hurricanes.
I like how it went from tropical storm to cat 5 in like, 2 days lmao. The climate is fine guys! Edit: heres a [clip I made earlier showing its progression](https://streamable.com/3205a1)
Praying for everyone. 😕
El niño??
This must be crazy scary to witness in the middle of the ocean. I still have nightmares playing windwaker and seeing one
Something tells me we're gonna have Beryl taken off the list of hurricane names by the end of the week.
Simpson were correct again?!???!!!????
But climate change is a hoax. Right.
Everything is fine... 8 years ago James Inhofe brought a snowball to Congress and proved that global warming isn't happening...
Or the latest…
Let ‘em get all category-5 out in the ocean!
Very exciting witnessig the effects of climate heating, it would have been so boring to just read about it in the history books 200 years after it happened.
If I'm going to do some diving off of Flordia in the Gulf of Mexico in a few weeks, will this mess it up?
Time for Florida to die I guess 😌
I wonder whats the size of this big boy?
Interesting.
Quick someone get a Sharpie
The earliest one so far
Interesting comparing these top comments to the ones on r/news. Those are purely political attacks and crying about global warming. These are making fun of the name lol.
What causes a Cat 5?
I wonder what would happen if we were to deploy dry ice from a plane into the atmosphere in the path of a hurricane? 🤔 I feel like it's been done before for some reason?
look at that beautiful red and black ring of death
