Category 5 hurricane

A Category 5 hurricane is the most severe level of a hurricane, classified by wind speeds of 157 mph or higher. These storms can cause catastrophic damage, including widespread destruction of buildings, power outages, and flooding. They develop over warm ocean waters and can intensify rapidly, fueled by energy from the sea. Due to their strength, Category 5 hurricanes require urgent evacuation and extensive preparedness measures to protect lives and property. Their powerful winds and storm surge pose significant threats to coastal areas, making them some of the most dangerous natural phenomena.
