Check out this sample 50 frame radar loop at our site:
http://www.hurricanetrack.com/animation ... o/bro.html
Make sure you have either broadband or a few minutes to load 50 GIF images. But- when they've loaded- you're in for a treat. Now, just imagine this when a hurricane is approaching.
We'll have 31 coastal radar sites done this way before June 1. I might add some pages for folks who do not have broadband Internet- say a 25 frame version. That is still better than the NWS 8 or 10 frame loop.
Enjoy. There's more to come.
Long radar loop now up

Other radars
Yes- I have 18 radar sites done now and will be working on making a nice web page to select which one you want to see. Lake Charles, New Orleans are all in there. Puerto Rico, too!
I also have a satellite loop of Africa (the East Atlantic shot) that will be 8 days long. NOAA adds another frame every 6 hours. I am grabbing those frames, uploading them to the site and archiving them 32 frames at a time. If there are 4 frames that make up a day, and I have 32 frames, I believe that makes 8 days of satellite photos. So now we can watch a tropical wave leave Africa and traverse the eastern Atlantic right before our eyes.
All of this will be ready well before the hurricane season.

Africa shot
Hurricanehink wrote:Cool, the Africa shot should be good, but a shot every six hours seems a little too long of a time between shots. Still, the 8 day length is great.
THe Africa images (East Atlantic) are provided by NOAA every 6 hours. I am sure we ALL wish we could get those on a more frequent basis. Unfortunately, we're limited to 4 frames per day.

Aww, ok. Yea, if only we could watch all of the storms from the beginning :-?
