Tracking Hurricanes

Hurricanes are popular again since last week when New Orleans was targeted by Gustav, and we had some nice weather on Saturday with Hanna in New York City. If you want to track the storms, you have a lot of websites to choose from. I’ve just come across Stormpulse, which is by far the best in terms of fancy graphics and interactivity. You can watch the current systems and predictions (general estimates and model tracks), or view historical storms, looking at any time period, historical cloud overlays, etc.
If you want interactivity and browsing, go with Stormpulse. If you want the raw data, head over to the NOAA National Hurricane Center. Same data, different interface.
