VINTON LOUISIANA HAS ON OF THE HORSE RACE TRACKS, "DELTA DOWNS" IN VINTON, WE HAD SUSTAINED WINDS OF 94mph WITH GUSTS AT 105. IT BUSTED OUT ONE WINDOW IN THE LIVING ROOM AND WAS BOWING THE WALLS IN AND OUT AS THE WIND WOULD GUST. I LAST TRACK AT 62 FUNNEL CLOUDS WITHIN A ONE HOUR TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER, OUR HURRICANE EXPERTS IN LAKE CHARLES LOUISIANA SAID IT WAS ONLY A STRONG CAT 2 HURRICANE. THE PIONT IS WHEN THEY SAY GET OUT, "THEY MEAN GET OUT"!!!!

As an avid hurricane watcher, I agree the need is there to present the stats in a more user friendly manner. Wind speed, orientation, time over the Gulf, and wind fields are vitally important pieces of information needed to gauge your risk for staying vs. leaving. And perhaps it's time for a new numbering system - in light of the fact that some folks choose to stay because "it's just a 2". I like your idea about reformatting the pertinent text.

Most of the ways that hurricanes and other disasters are reported came about before mass media, the internet, etc and were put together in times when everyone would regularly read blocks of text. Sadly we are now in an age where we need everything in one sentence or in a short paragraph. You should start a campaign, even if you just raise awareness and get a conversation going you will have done something worthwhile. That is an excellent idea.
