I think that's also the challenge of using the same categories/windspeeds of the Saffir-Simpson scale when applying it to a place like Jamaica vs Houston. Both places may face a cat4 hurricane and see very different levels of damage entirely due to the difference in infrastructure.
Its a matter of informing people how to use the scales - we have temperature and wind chill but people still need to know that -40° will hit the Midwest much differently than -40° would hit Texas.
