This is the storm of the century (....) Please, please.. evacuate as soon as possible.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I live on the Central Gulf Coast, and we are getting ready, plus taking in some evacuating family members. This is a very tense time for all of us, regardless of our race, creed, or political persuasion. Which makes the particular linked comment below all the more appalling:
