Re: Behind Emily

I posted this in Site Admin forum, but will mention it here too.
The storm coordinates back to 1902 should be fixed now, click the link "Coordinates" on the left to see them.

Because of this, you can see some Interesting plots with the maps/satellite image.

Hurricane Andrew:
http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php?1992s2

Turn to satellite mode and follow the path of andrew inland, even on the satellite photos you can still see, quite plainly, where the storm went in Homestead if you zoom up.

You can do multiple storms, ie http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php?2005s5-2004s3 to see this year's Emily compared with Charley from last year. (Not implying it will do a charley, btw)

The format for multiple pots is like this... you take the url
http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php
add a ?
then the year followed by an s then the number of that storm for the year

ie for Hurricane Hugo it would be
http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php?1989s8

Now, say you wanted to overlay the last few big storms together with hugo

add a dash - after the 1989s8 and then put another year, we'll pick andrew again 1992s21
http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php?1989s8-1992s2

Then we'll throw on Charley
http://flhurricane.com/googlemap.php?1989s8-1992s2-2004s3

And so forth, be careful, your browser will croak if you add too many storms.
