    Map Project Wind
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a top-down visual representation of near real-time wind trails in the US, which users find engaging and useful, especially during severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes. There is a desire for this wind map to be integrated with Google Maps or Google Earth for enhanced usability. Users note that the map can slow down their computers, particularly on older systems or browsers like Internet Explorer, which is not fully supported. The current wind patterns show significant activity in areas east of Denver and north of Dallas. Overall, the wind map is praised for its functionality and potential applications in monitoring weather conditions.

Thank you, Greg, for the tip. Great wind trail map, and I agree with you, I'd love it to be integrated into Google Earth.

Cheers, Bobbywhy
 
This will be fun to watch for tornado and hurricane season!
 
Even better would be an overlay of temperature :o
 
Wow, cool map!

It looks like the US is getting hairy :-p
 
Wow, watching mass destruction at your fingertips. What else could one ask for !?

BTW, it slows my normally fast machine to a crawl, nice find Greg.

Bookmarked...

Doesn't work, it says to use chrome, they designed it not to work with IE? Yes, I like IE 7, I like the tools, makes it more user friendly for me.

Good idea, Greg, to bump this great wind map for all of us...members and visitors alike. It's a remarkable view of our winds in real time (+ or - a few minutes).
