Wow. That's a neat picture. Can't even see the E Gulf there.

Nice looking graphic. I have a few questions.

1. How was the graphic constructed. I.E., how was it determined what the wind swaths were? Were they assumed from 00hr NHC position and marine wind radii?

2. If they were derived from the 00hr NHC positions and the marine wind radii field, were these winds reduced over land to account for frictional effects? As you may know, the wind radii on the NHC marine forecasts are for use over water only, not land.

3. Were the HRD post-storm wind analysis data used in the production of these wind swaths. Data sets are available at the link below for the 2005 season:

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/data_sub/wind2005.html

4. Might be interesting to see the storm tracks on there, too.

Very neat. Two things really stick out 1) TX spared (so far) and 2) FL Peninsula spared (for the most part). Hopefully the rest will be fish!

That is way cool. Do you have similar graphics for years past, specifically last year?
