I disagree.  The colors encode information on the relative strengths of landfalls, etc.  At the same time, the type/category column backs up the colors for those who have not figured then out.  So my view is that this is a very effective scheme, allowing someone to use the colors to find significant storms easily and the text to verify that this is what they want.  As for just restricting the extent of the colors: I believe that this will reduce the effectiveness of the colors, and so oppose even that.   |
