On Monday, Hurricane Irma strengthened into a category 4 hurricane, and today became an "extremely dangerous" category 5 hurricane, with some meteorologists are projecting that it will remain so until it eventually makes landfall in the United States.  And since a “category 6” has not been created yet, category 5 is as high as the scale goes at the moment.
