I don't trust "first calls" from CNN

The scale really needs to be addressed one of these days. You can have a tight 4 storm that is "small", it can do a lot less damage than a big fat 3.

I hope that is one change that comes eventually. Perhaps you add together wind speed, size of storm, length of hurricane winds, length of tropical storm winds, pressure in a formulation. It sounds more complicated, but I think it would be more helpful.

Did CNN every figure out where Switzerland is located?
