There is no Cat 6 and isn't going to be.
While not routine, Typhoons as strong or stronger than Rita or Katrina are a fairly regular occurence in the Western Pacific and 5 Categories has always served just fine for them.

Tell me there's not such a thing as a cat 6... right? There is no such thing as a weak Cat 5.
The categories are a damage control scheme. It is estimated that each level causes about 10 times as much damage as the one previous. This means that a Cat 5 is 10,000 times as damaging as a Cat 1.

Tell me there's not such a thing as a cat 6... right? Nope. Cat 5 is open-ended. However, despite the fact that I really need to take a nap, I fear that if I do, I'll wake up to find out they created a Category 6 just for Rita. LOL
