NHC Virtual Tour

"Welcome to the virtual tour of NOAA's National Hurricane Center. With the click of a computer mouse, the online links provide panoramic views of the different rooms of the facility, accompanied by an audio description. Using the mouse, you will be able to move around each room in a circle, stop, back up, and zoom in. A text window is available for the hearing-impaired.

Those rooms included in the virtual tour are the National Hurricane Center operations, the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) operations, the Chief Aerial Reconnaissance Coordination All Hurricanes (CARCAH), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) liaison, Media & Seminar Room, NOAA Miami Regional Library, and the NOAA National Weather Service Miami Forecast Office.

Thank you for visiting us!"

If you live far away from Florida, land of many dangerous animals, including killer stingrays, like I do, this is as close as I'll get.

I have to say, I thought it would be bigger. I imagined rows of computers in big rooms with people all over the place.
