Seriously. I already know everything in the aricle (because I've read similar before) and yet I still have trouble remembering it when reading a map and trying to visualize the area I actually care about. I can't imagine how the heck purple are supposed to just deal with this and wrap their head around it, especially regarding an emergency.

I'm wondering if the people who didn't prepare due to a misleading map despite a technically accurate prediction can sue for damage? Not that I would enjoy seeing NOAA et al. in a lawsuit, but if nothing else has gotten them to fix these, maybe a lawsuit will?
