Re: Google Earth

I wrote a little program last night that grabs the latest vortex data message and plots the point in google earth. It's a netlink so it should update within 10 minutes or so anytime http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAREPNT2.shtml changes. Data before today is incomplete, but it *should* pickup all the messages from here on out.
