Has there been a cat 6 hurricane?

First of all, there is currently no Category 6 for hurricanes. We measure hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which classifies storms from weaker (Category 1) to stronger (Category 5) based on their maximum sustained wind speeds. Some storms are also more intense, reaching wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour.
