77 miles....at the moment but given last year I was less than 1 mile from the eye centre of hurricane Frances and Jeanne anything is an improvement!

Don't forget to read all the disclaimers! It's like using a GPS...ain't nothin' between here and there to a machine. But it IS a fun program when it isn't a scary one :wink:

That is very cool. According to that map Katrina could be 12.9 nautical miles from me in 130 hrs...

WindRunner · #16 Postby **WindRunner** » Wed Aug 24, 2005 3:55 pm

Results for 38.7N, 77.8W:
The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 29.0N, 86.0W or about 817.3 miles (1315.3 km) from your location. This is corresponding with the 120 hour position of the 5-day forecast.

Just for 'fun'... If the storm would continue on this track, the extrapolated closest point (X-CPA) is estimated at 33.5N, 89.4W or about 739.4 miles (1190.0 km) from your location, where it can be in about 173.8 hours (be aware that this location is not part of the official forecast and is prone to large errors).

But I don't think that's good XTRPing
