Overview
\"It's hard to imagine modern hurricane warnings without a Saffir-Simpson ranking,\" says meteorologist Robert Henson, author of Weather on the Air: A History of Broadcast Meteorology. \"There's something very powerful about a 1-to-5 rating system. It's intriguing that both tornadoes and hurricanes are ranked in this way, using scales developed around the same time.\" \"The Saffir-Simpson scale has had enormous impact on communicating the hurricane threat over the years,\" [James Franklin] says. \"It is an incredibly efficient way to convey the danger from a hurricane's strongest winds.\" [Greg Holland] marvels at Simpson's longevity and career: \"It is quite simple,\" Holland says. \"There is no living person who has had the same level of impact on meteorology, be it scientific, forecasting or communicating information.\"
