Rest in peace, and know that what you've done for meteorology has not only revolutionized the field of hurricanes, but has made you immortal in the field of meteorology.

Here's to you, Mr. Saffir.

May he RIP. He is one of the major reasons building codes in S FL are now as tough as they are.

he deserves alot of respect from the meterological community he changed the way we look at tropical cyclones starting with Camille John Hope's daughter another well respected legend of the meterological community.it was the legacy of Camile that created the well know Herbert-Saffir Simpson Scale we use today .And John Hopes greatest fear was another Camiile and surely not forget it was Andrew that forced Flordia to build the fortified bunker homes and businesses we see in Flordia today.
