The implosion of David Appell continues: After accusing Marc Morano of "Desperate Lies" for abbreviating "Former" as "Fmr", he now accuses Morano of "outright lying" for Morano's correct use of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.
