I love Science News. Now and then, however, you write in terms that aren’t understandable to the average reader. I refer in particular to (the article above). It states that “weather models suggest winds atop the peak exceeded 50 meters per second.” I dare say that to 99 percent of your readers, like myself, that’s a meaningless expression. Much more meaningful would be 180 kilometers per hour or, even better, 112 miles per hour.
