Hurricanes

In: Environment/weather Innovative Interactive Maps

Two part interactive toy from AP. The first one takes you on a cool animated walk through the 5 point Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale, simulating the amount of damage along the way. The second maps out the path and category of every hurricane from 1851-2009.
