NOAA attempts to educate the con about cones

As we recall, there was a kruffle during the last hurricane/topical storm. The dufus drew his own "cone" that had no basis in science, just another display by someone not qualified for political office.

Anyhow, Congratulations to NOAA for making your point using humour. Did a scientist write this?
Congratulations on the Service to America Award.
