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).
Deaths from a tropical cyclone's winds or embedded tornadoes accounted for only 10 to 15 percent of fatalities in the U.S. in that time. This may sound counterintuitive, since Category 1, 2, 3 hurricanes are rated based on their maximum sustained winds. (MORE: Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)
