Skeetobite, I hope you can get the NHC to release forecast maps depiciting the detail and information at a glance as well as you do it. As long as it they continue to release 'postage stamp' maps with 12 point lines representing the path, people will continue to both ask 'so am I affected?' and think of a hurricane hundres of miles across as a point not much bigger than their back yard.

Thanks for doing this, for your efforts on our behalf, and for the attitude that profit would be nice, but this is NOT the time, it time for someone, someone to think like you do, a job that needs to be done and then *does* it. Kind of like the people that created and maintain this site....not for the money it *could* make if commercialized, but for the satisfaction of providing a NEEDED SERVICE. My hat is off to you (in fact, Charley blew it off and if you find it, I live at ....)

Thanks for a job well done!
