Some Survivors Of Category 5 Hurricane Irma Want A Category 6
Tom Krall lives on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the west end of the island, high on a ridge. That's where he was in September when Hurricane Irma roared through.
"We had the full blast," Krall says. "Twenty of the 30 houses in my neighborhood lost their roofs or worse."
The National Hurricane Center says Irma had sustained winds of 185 mph when it hit the Virgin Islands with gusts of 200 mph or higher. They were the most powerful winds ever recorded in that part of the Caribbean.
