This is the first time that we've been able to get to these really intense winds of Category 5 equivalent in the laboratory and study how they interact with the ocean surface, we want to know how they get from less intense to more intense and all different steps along the way.

If we could get a better forecast that helps in evacuation planning -- particularly in large cities. The sooner you can get good information on how strong a storm is going to be, the more safely you can plan to evacuate people that are at risk.
