User blog:HurricaneBrick/Hurricane Force Index

I've been developing this idea for a few months now. I've decided to tell you guys about it. It's a new hurricane ranking scale. There is a formula to figure out said scale:

Maximum winds + storm surge divided by 5.

This will give you a number, and that number will align on one of the values.

Scale: Example:
 * 1) 5-12
 * 2) 13-18
 * 3) 19-24
 * 4) 25-31
 * 5) 32-37
 * 6) 38-43

Tropical Storm Example

Winds: 65 mph

Predicted Storm Surge: 3ft

65 + 3 = 68 divided by 5 = 13.6.

Round this to 14.

Example is an HFI-2.
