Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a life-long complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) [3]. PTE and post-traumatic seizures (PTS) have both been used to describe seizures occurring after head trauma that are believed to be causally related to the trauma itself [3].
The Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale is a categorical classification of hurricanes based on their wind speed, used by the U.S. government's National Hurricane Center. To qualify as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane intensity scale, maximum sustained winds must exceed 155 mph (135 kt).
Rate this Article: The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a 1-5 rating based on the hurricane's present intensity. This hurricane scale is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf in the landfall region. Wind speeds are measured using a 1-minute average. Note:The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS) was updated in 2012 to accomodate number rounding issues.
