Beta tool for tracking your location relative to a local storm's
The name is not set in stone for this project. The tool exists because when I was in a severe thunderstorm I could not find an app that, in real time, plotted my location relative to the boundaries of the storm I needed to avoid.
- No need to pull over when on the road to plan how to avoid a storm
- Know exactly where the storm is headed (Cardinal Directions), and thus precise velocity.
- No need to wait for updates from Google Public Alerts or the National Weather Service
- Automatic alerts (in progress) to guide you through the situation
- National Weather Service warnings RSS feed
- FCC Census Block Conversions API
- Google Public Alerts (for now)
- PHP/Javascript/JQuery
- Google Maps
For now just keep an eye on the commit log. I will post updates here as it becomes necessary.
