Ooh - that's very effective!
Meanwhile in the Philippines.
For a moment I though the cool bit was the coastline looked like dragons 😉
I saw that earlier and was trying to figure out a way to embed it.
It seems to suggest that many folk can't visualise 3ft, 6ft and 9ft.

Or that they can't extrapolate how that relates around them, translating the numbers to landscapes is probably quite easy at times, but when you are worrying about heaps of other things it's a really good way to show it and to kick people out of complacency,
You mean they can't translate it to how tall they are?

Are people 3ft, 6ft and 9ft? How tall is your neighbours fence? How about I ask you while you are packing up your belongings and trying to decide if yo evacuate or not and where your kids are and what your elderly parents are doing.

Was sat in a room with some smart people trying to work out what 10,000 car wheels looked like as a volume, we talking football pitches here?
A really good bit of advice was that your audience should get what you are saying within a few seconds, without having to think about it. That got that across.
Jeez. Lighten up
