Example: here's Puerto Rico in a 50 frame loop

Here is a link to Puerto Rico's long loop:

Now just imagine if we had this when Georges went the length of the island? How cool would this have been? Well, if and when that happens again, we'll be ready.

I am glad these are helpful.

They will really help my team when we are out during a hurricane or tropical storm. Seeing the storm motion over a longer period of time is important. We can possibly better detect wobbles etc. in the forward motion.

One use I look make of these loops is the development of thunderstorms in the spiral bands. Sometimes these t-storms can drop a brief tornado- esp. in the right-front quadrant. Not many photos or video has ever been taken of a hurricane-spawned tornado. Perhaps my team, or other storm chasers, will be able to better detect a tornado producing cell within a circulation of a tropical cyclone.

Agree with you about this loop being there when George made landfall here would be spectacular to see as that eye moved from the VI to the east coast of PR and how the bands increased to it's SE quadrant just SE of PR.And also the eye was wobbeling inside Puerto Rico as it made friction with the mountains as it zig-zaged until the moment it excited on the west coast into the mona channel.
