Just Category 5?

Category 5 (252 km/h or higher): Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of frame homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

What about when it is basically a giant tornado? When the percentage is 100%. When the power is gone? When the islands are gone?

Do we then start using Category 6?
