A little bit offtopic, but tracking a storm is kind of fun nowadays.
Stormpulse.com has an excellent UI and tells me exactly at what time the tropical storm Hanna will arrive at my weather station apartment in NYC.
If Stormpulse would add some Geotagging, SMS and some social web applications,allowing users to submit storm pictures, the whole
service could be a great help for people who are uncertain about how the storm will turn out.
Anyways…great service. Really enjoy following tropical storm Hanna, which will hit us here in about 3 hours. Thanks Stormpulse!
Edit: Just saw that they have a tip box for users. How great is that?

Wow that’s a useful service. If it only could warm people when they need to be warned this could have great potential. Text messages automatically sent to those registered in those areas for example.

Fully agree. There is so much that could be done. What a great service so far.
Also just had the idea to put a weather proof web cam. How cool would it be too look right in the storm area.
