Tracking Dolly - Now a Cat 2

My readers from 360 may remember that I for some reason I have a fascination with the coverage about hurricanes.

Well, last year was a bit dull... Today has already made up for that! For several reasons... 1 is that The Weather Channel (TWC) is now in HD & the video & radars & etc is amazing!! (Add Jim Cantore & Mike Bettis (who is from my area!!) into it... & to me it's... AWARD WINNING! LOL)

Then I go to TWC site & their interactive radar has improved over the past year! (I've been using it for a while now... & it's great when you want to zero in on your street!!) That link will take you to the radar for South Padre Island where Dolly is coming ashore... Only thing is... if you click on this tomorrow or later... it won't be as impressive as it is now. (Just fair warning for those who read this later!!)

So, anyway... I just wanted to share the site with you... & be sure to "play around" with the Transparency bar at the bottom of the radar window. Quite interesting to say the least!!

(FYI - The picture above is NOT Hurricane Dolly... it's just from Google Images.)

    That MIGHT be a satellite photo from Hurricane Wilma... in 2005... The date in the link on the picture said October 5th. Still impressive!!!

    I must admit I don't really follow the weather very much (other than the local weather for the present and near future). That was a pretty neat website though. I looked up the weather around Oswego, NY (where we're going to a wedding this Saturday) and then zoomed out. Looks like it might rain. Oh well.. I think it's going to be inside anyways. As for the weather around my house, it looks like the rain we've had pretty much all day will be clearing up soon, maybe by tomorrow.
