SSHWS category is assigned using ONE value: the maximum wind 10 meters above the ocean surface averaged over 1 minute. A hurricane is not a point. Its size (extent of its wind *field*), forward speed, rainfall, potential storm surge, and the landscape it traverses all factor into its impacts. [3/5]
