Other than that, this is fun.
If it didn't differentiate them and the last category 5 hurricane was 110 days ago but the last category 1 hurricane was 2 days ago, how would you learn about the category 1 hurricane? In your example it would just show hurricane categories 1-5 sequentially all bunched together, so you'd also be duplicating data which wouldn't be that useful.
More than that: the last cat 5 is "Otis" while the last cat 2 is "Tammy". AFAIK they are named in alphabetical order?
Something seems fishy in this dataset.

I know the USGS websites have great API support, and I imagine the NASA solar flare reporting does as well, so I expect most of this is automatic.
The ones going to Wikipedia articles must be done by hand, so those will stop being updated when Neal gets bored of updating.
Sure, sure, don't worry about it, but being told that the tsunamis in The Abyss could be real? Good lord that is shocking to me.
Some of the effects of a wave like that can be read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Lituya_Bay_earthquake_and...
"Over 30 million cubic meters of rock fell from a height of several hundred meters into the bay, creating the megatsunami."
This site seems to be saying that VEI 4 is the max it could reach, if I'm understanding it right: https://gdacs.org/report.aspx?eventid=1000080&episodeid=7&ev...

I believe that the naming relates to which ocean they're forming in, but it's probably good for you to do your own research, so you can clear up any "fishiness" yourself.
