Now go to the NYT main hurricane article and what do you see? The same misleading map that this article says people don't understand instead of the better wind speed probability alternative:

This one? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/27/us/hurricane-...

This is not the same cone map, the shaded area represents "50 percent or higher chance of experiencing wind speeds of at least 39 miles per hour" - ie. a simplified version of the map you recommend.
