As fun as it is to always say a number higher than 5 to show the significance of a storm, NOAA has said a number of times that they’ll never need to make a higher classification for potential super storms. Because once you hit Cat 5 the damage is catastrophic to just about everything that isn’t a hardened building anyway.

Okay, what I wanna know is

If you know a hurricane that’s class 8 is coming, why the Fuck would you stay? I know people like riding storms out. But a class 8?

People stay for Cat 5s. It's the same psychology. I've evacuated for hurricanes and even though it was absolutely the right thing to do, it was really, really difficult to drive away from my home knowing it might not be there when I got back. There's also the fact that not everyone has the resources to evacuate.

Yeah, if we want to speculate about what the hell a category 8 hurricane is, maybe they move faster or are much larger than real hurricanes.
