Saffir-Simpson Category Six Super Hurricane Wilma

Well Wilma washes out Western World Weather Records with a Wow. Hurricane Wilma has not captured another record, as her low-pressure tight center has been recorded at 884 mb and that is the lowest low pressure area ever measured. Breaking records is nothing new to Wilma, as she puts the 2005 Hurricane Season on the record books as the most active Tropical Hurricane Season in recorded history. The low-pressure center is an indicator of its power, meaning Super Hurricane Wilma is now the most powerful Hurricane on record. Beating out the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, Andrew, Katrina, Rita and Gilbert. The now displaced third place Hurricane, which hit the Florida Keys was the Labor Day in 1935. The other more powerful Hurricane was of course Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 with a low-pressure area center of only 888 mb. At 884 mb this Super Hurricane Wilma is now the number one most powerful Hurricane ever.

At 5 AM The NOAA and Miami Hurricane Center has proclaimed that Super Hurricane Wilma has lowered its pressure to only 884, making it the most record breaking Hurricane ever created in the History of Western World Weather Records after being measured by the Hurricane Hunters. So then what do you call a Super Recorded breaking Hurricane like that?

I propose we add a Category to the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Perhaps we should make it a Category Six or CAT VI, which could start at 175 mph and go to 195 mph. The Saffir-Simpson scale does not give a true picture of the power of this Category Six Super Hurricane Wilma. Think on this.
