The Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS), formerly the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale (SSHS), classifies hurricanes – Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions, and tropical storms – into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone must have maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph (33 m/s; 64 kn; 119 km/h) (Category 1). The highest classification in the scale, Category 5, is reserved for storms with winds exceeding 156 mph (70 m/s; 136 kn; 251 km/h).
The classifications can provide some indication of the potential damage and flooding a hurricane will cause upon landfall.
Officially, the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale is used only to describe hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean and northern Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Other areas use different scales to label these storms, which are called "cyclones" or "typhoons", depending on the area.

Category 5 is the fifth album of the rock band FireHouse. It was originally released in 1998 in Japan and in 1999 in the United States by Lightyear Records.
The album featured a more direct contribution from bassist Perry Richardson and ironically, it was his last studio album with the band. It features a different, more experimental sound when compared to the band's previous hard rock albums, while still featuring some signature ballads.
All songs written by Snare and Leverty, except where noted.
I bet I've seen that face
A hundred times or more
Then you shed a tear
What do you want from me
Is it something I can give
Just let me know
Then you walk in my arms and say
I need you more today
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
Sometimes I'm so afraid
There’s nothing I can do
You're always on my mind
You know my hands were tied
Don’t you know how hard I tried
To never let you go
Then you walked in my arms and said goodbye
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
Down on my knees I pray for you every day
I've been alone since you’ve been away
Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
You’re slipping away
