The storm forecast cone tracks the CENTER, not the full impact zone!
The cone shows where the storm's eye is likely to travel — not where damage stops. Winds, storm surge, and rain routinely extend far outside its edges, making it the most misread graphic in weather coverage.
A hurricane's category only measures one thing: wind speed!
The Saffir-Simpson scale rates sustained winds alone — storm surge, rainfall, and storm size are not factored in. A sprawling Category 1 can flood more land than a compact Category 3. Low number ≠ low danger.

The '30% of income on rent' rule traces back to a 1969 U.S. law.
The Brooke Amendment, championed by Sen. Edward Brooke, first capped public housing rent at 25% of income. Congress raised it to 30% in 1981 — and that threshold has shaped housing policy globally ever since.
