That's a good point? So the arrows representing a hurricane on Orkney
will be the same size as a gentle zephyr in Tunbridge Wells.

Or will they?


A wind that disturbs a roof-tile in Tunbridge Wells will get on the
national news whereas a hurricane in Orkney won't get a mention so I
suppose they've got it about right.
