Katagma Scale (KS)

The Katagma Pressure Scale was created June 3, 2018, to designate hurricanes into categories based on the pressure that they exhibit. Generally, a hurricane with lower pressure causes more damage. Since pressures can vary with the classification on the Saffir-Simpson scale (For example, C4 Opal having a 916 mbar pressure, a pressure normally associated with C5 hurricanes) this scale is made to judge the potential damage based off the pressure that a hurricane exhibits.
