Why some say iconic hurricane map misled Floridians??By Scott Dance and Amudalat Ajasa?October 4, 2022 at 17:30 ET?Its image is ubiquitous ahead of any hurricane, fundamental to decisions coastal residents, first responders and politicians make to prepare for storms and to evacuate: The forecast cone.?But amid finger-pointing over what mistakes may have contributed to dozens of deaths during Hurricane Ian, its very concept is being questioned.?The National Hurricane Center graphic is perhaps misunderstood as widely as it is broadcast. It simply shows the likely future locations of a storm’s center — that is, the path weather forecasting models suggest its eye will take over the next three to five days.?But many view the cone as indicating that danger is limited to areas within a shaded wedge of the map.?“Some people think the cone represents the size of the storm, which it doesn’t,” said Rebecca Morss, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Some people think it represents the area of impact, which it doesn’t.” washingtonpost.com
