It's experimental and there are many bugs, but it's fun to play with:

Also neat if they would give you wind speeds, and storm reports. It would be cool if they gave you damage estimations upon storm landfall as well.

this is pretty cool...already wasted about an hour making all kinds of interesting storms.

(someone should send this to the people I disagree with when they appear in a few weeks so they can get their jollies on and not bother us. ;-))

Aww shoot, it's not working for me. It doesn't load, and when I mouse over it, it says "load: class Hurr not found". I tried downloading Hurr.class and running it from my harddrive, but it still doesn't work...

This sounds so awesome, I want to try it...

EDIT: Never mind, I got it. I just had to update my Java runtime. This is pretty neat!

Keep it frozen over the warmest pool of water off the Texas and Louisiana coasts for a while.
