Hurricane Severity Index

The Hurricane Severity Index

ImpactWeather’s Hurricane Severity Index is an enhanced hurricane rating system which more
accurately defines the strength and destructive capability of a given storm than other scales
currently utilized.

The Hurricane Severity Index was developed in 2005-06 by Chris Hebert and Bob Weinzapfel,
two ImpactWeather meteorologists and hurricane experts. The Hurricane Severity Index uses
comprehensive equations which incorporate not only the intensity of the winds but also the size
of the area the winds cover.
