# The story in decisions only

**What it tries:** A vertical story with nothing but warnings and decisions: those who warn on the left, those who decide for their own service on the right, the time down the middle and the gaps between them written out.

**What it shows badly:** No weather, no press and no sense of duration: a decision that covers a whole day looks the same as one that covers an hour, and left against right is our split by the kind of body.

An experiment from [the Labs](../index.md), one of several ways of showing the same data so they can be compared. It reads only this site's published JSON: [decisions/graph.json](../../incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/decisions/graph.json). Click any mark for its row or edge, its source and the time it was read. Not a warning service: for the warning itself, [IPMA](https://www.ipma.pt/) and [ANEPC](https://prociv.gov.pt/).
