All four sites - Valley of Flowers National Park, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Manas Wildlife Sanctuary, and Kalka-Shimla Railway - are UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India.

The official classification threshold is 74 miles per hour (119 km/h). Tropical depressions have winds up to 38 mph, tropical storms have winds of 39-73 mph, and hurricanes begin at 74 mph. This 74 mph threshold is used universally by the National Hurricane Center and World Meteorological Organization.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale classifies hurricanes into five categories based on their sustained wind speeds and potential damage. Category 1 is the weakest (74-95 mph) and Category 5 is the strongest (157+ mph). This classification system helps communicate the potential impact of approaching hurricanes.

The 1900 Galveston hurricane produced a storm surge of approximately 15 feet that devastated the island. Combined with 130 mph winds, this surge was responsible for the majority of the 8,000+ deaths, making it the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The Category 4 rating and 15-foot wave height are well-documented historical facts.

Category 1 hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale have sustained wind speeds of 74-95 mph (119-153 km/h). These storms can produce dangerous winds that cause some damage to roofs, shingles, and gutters, along with extensive tree damage and power outages.

Category 3 hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale have sustained wind speeds of 111-129 mph (178-208 km/h). These are considered major hurricanes capable of causing devastating damage, including structural damage to buildings, uprooting of trees, and near-total power loss.
