What's next tornados? EF6? EF10? EF15? Same thing. The worst storm I have ever seen in California (I lived there at the time) was in 1969. I don't think they have had anything worse since. Everywhere on earth you are going to get these type of storms, you just have to ignore the outliers.
I personally like category 99 -- because it's more scary sounding. NOAA already inflated tornado categories by just changing the scaling factor -- but in the end the tornado trend is still down -- just like hurricanes.
