Hurricane Patricia vs. Mexico
#2
Well, if one follows the pattern for categories 1-4 then category 5 ought to have an upper limit of around 260kph. Further to that, category 6 goes from 261 to 285 or so and category 7 from 286 to around 326. So Patricia is category 7; upper end of category 7, at that.

I also think it's interesting that the 325kph quoted is well within tornado wind speed range; an F3 goes up to 205 mph which is about 330kph.
