We just learned about the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale used to measure hurricanes.
The first level on that scale is a Category 1 Hurricane - Very dangerous winds that will produce some damage.
These hurricanes have winds between 74 and 95 mph.
They usually are not strong enough to damage large houses or buildings, but could blow over mobile homes, uproot trees or blow off roof shingles.
