      Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
      So that blind people can hate them as well.

        That is awesome!

        What would make it even more kick butt was if it were in real time. That would really rock!

        It would be so cool to see tornadoes forming and to see the eye of the hurricane and the like.

          Is it not in real time? It's certainly accurately reflecting the winds we've got here in NY right now.

            Thank you for finding that.

            This means, I'm going to go back and check that thing frequently. =)

    I saw one of these real time maps not long ago that showed all the air pollution from China blowing out over the whole earth. It was infuriating and very scary. After seeing that one, my main focus on this one is to watch where the wind is moving from China. Wish someone would do something about that cesspool. We're all being more effected than we realize.
