Lucarius Wind Scale(LWS)

The Lucarius Wind Scale(LWS) formerly known as the Lucarius Cyclonic Classification Scale(LCCS), classifies Tropical Cyclones in Lucarius Kingdom that exceed a certain sustained wind speed.

Classifications are split in 6 Major Categories: Tropical Depression, Storm(2 Minor Categories), Cyclone(3 Minor Categories), Severe Cyclones(3 Minor Categories), Violent Cyclones(4 Minor Categories and Hyperclones.

The classifications are a way to estimate damages and flooding as well.

History
In 1973, a series of intense systems which dealt an abnormal amount of damages hit Central and North Sylvius. The director of the Lucarius Meteorlogical Agency(LMA) began to study the Ocean very closely for signs of activity. On October 23rd, another one of these appeared. It was called a Cyclone. In 1975 The LMA saw that these "Cyclones" were very uniform in when and where they spawn. So, they devised a way to classify and track them. In 1976, the Lucarius Cyclone Tracking Center(LCTC), or what is currently the Lucarius Hurricane Center(LHC) was establish to track Cyclones. The LHC created a way to classify these Cyclones based on winds. It was finished that year and called the Lucarius Cyclonic Classification Scale(LCCS). It was first devised of Cyclones, Severe Cyclones and Violent Cyclones.

Later on in 1982, Chantal struck Central Sylvius, after it had well exceeded the intensity of Category 9 Violent Cyclone. They disreguarded it since it was the first recorded time of the occurrence. However, 6 years later in 1988, another one appeared named Octave which led to 5 debates about editing the scale. The 5th debate in 1992 resulted in a revision of the scale. Leading to the addition of Depressions, Storms and the Hyperclone.

More smaller revisions were made later on. In 1999 the Hyperclone intensity was upgraded to 225 mph from 220 mph. The following year led to a slightly larger chance to which Category 5 intensity was dropped from 150 mph to 145 mph and Severe Tropical Storm strength was added and given a 60-75 mph border. In 2002, Category 1 Cyclone intensity margins were dropped to 70 mph and the Severe Tropical Storm intensity was dropped to 55-70 mph. In 2010, the Categories 10-8 each dropped 5 mph as well. Finally in 2013, it was implimented that Subtropical systems that reach Tropical Storm strength(40 mph)would recieve a name due to an unnamed Subtropical Cyclone in 2012 being found to reach Category 5 Severe Cyclone strength(It wasn't the first). Since then no revisions/edits have been made.

Categories
Currently, there are overall 6 major Categories and 14 Total Categories. Below is the table of the most recent cyclone to peak within each of the 14 Categories during a Tropical stage.
