I have experienced so many hurricanes throughout my life. I believe that each year there are more hurricanes and much stronger. I should now because i live in Mia, Fl. Does anybody think that one day the hurricane is going to go beyond the category scale?

Well the reason the hurricanes are getting stronger is because of global warming. The average temprature of the gulf of mexico is 2 degrees warmer than it was 100 years ago. Therefore hurricanes can get stronger than before. It is also the case that tropical storms that would have blown themselves out in the past manage to get to the gulf and become minor hurricanes. So you will have more hurricanes and they will be stronger. The Saffir-simpson scale has been redifined several times so it has happen before that a hurricane has gone beyond that scale.
