The Beaufort Wind Scale is named after Sir Francis Beaufort, an admiral in the British Navy. He developed the scale in 1805 in order to estimate wind speed by noting how sails move in the wind. It turned out to be a great help and was later adapted for use on land. ... Strength: Hurricane ; Speed: 75 mph or greater,

The Beaufort Wind Force Scale, The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, & the Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity ... The Beaufort Scale has become the standard method of judging wind force. It is not the oldest, since rating the strength of wind by number and/or assigning names to the ratings had been done for some time.

Today, hurricanes are sometimes numbered 12 through 16 using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, with a Category 1 hurricane bearing Beaufort number 12, a Category 2 hurricane, Beaufort 13, and so on. Category 1 tornadoes on the Fujita and TORRO scales also begin at the end of Category 12 of the Beaufort scale.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale divides hurricanes into five different classes according to wind speed, estimated flooding and property damage. It goes beyond the detail provided for hurricanes in the Beaufort Wind Force Scale.
