I'm impressed, our tax dollars at work. A bit puzzling as to why not an autolink though. They refer you to the new site.

Another tip. Download new IE 7. Microsoft finally getting into tabbed browsing like Firefox and Netscape. They have one very interesting add that will come in handy during hurricane season. An rss feed icon, when a site (like NHC TPC) has rss it turns color. You simply click the icon and join that rss. Those of you that haven't used rss it is a fast way to get latest news (in the case of tpc latest advisories) without going through the main site. In other words when tpc gets bogged down during the season it is a way to get advisories fast.

I like it too, after getting used to it. Lots to see and compare. Definitely saved to my favorites. Will S2K have a link?

These look fantastic, thanks for posting this message. Wow, they have done a marvelous job on this project which began last year!! Of course, I like the Caribbean one. And 4 floaters - WOOOPPIEE!! I'll have to send a note with my complements.

However, I'll might ask why no St. Vincent, Barbados, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Martin/Anguilla, BVI/USVI (except St. Croix is on there for some strange reason) on the Central Atlantic/Caribbean view. They are represented on the West Atlantic view, etc. Here's how they look elsewhere: GHCC view

sign up for a bloglines account and then add the rss feeds to it and you will come to understand rss. its very useful if you like to keep up with information from lots of different places without having to travel around to dozens or hundreds of sites.

Finally we also have great images of the WPAC that has always been available for the Atlantic, EPAC & CPAC. I hope they would continue to expand globally. The images are great.
