We can avoid destructions initiated and created by human beings. Bombs, Nuclear weapons and highly toxic chemical compounds that badly disturb our ecosystem can be prevented to save our earth and innocent people. But what about Natural disasters? We don’t have a direct solution to avoid it. We can only take preventive measures to fight against volcanoes, storms, hurricanes, cyclones and earthquakes.
One of such preventive measure is to track the traces of the unpredictable disasters through weather forecast. StormPulse is a service that allows you to track storms and hurricanes. We are again facing the bad time of hurricanes and storms season and if you want to keep an eye of what would be its next hit or if you are living in an area that is more exposed to hurricanes (near Atlantic ocean) than StormPulse is definitely going to help you.
The site pulls out the information from The National Hurricane Center and provides you with the latest updates on changes occurring in the Atlantic oceans with a forecast of expected storms. The updates are based on latitude, longitude, wind speed, movement and pressure. So, a single update can clearly give you an idea about the expected storm/hurricane covering some major geographical aspects.
Users can track the current Atlantic activity with satellite imageries, instantly updated by some major sources such as NASA. News and Coastal Weather makes it all more integral and interesting. The most appealing part of the site is ‘the season tracking map’ that fetches you the information about the movement of storm with intervals of 6 and 12 hours. You can check out the full screen mode of a graph and zoom in and out to view the clear picture of the updates. The graph alone, makes it highly interactive and eloquent.

Google Earth has also created a special folder to unleash the latest updates on ‘Hurricane Gustav’ with an information extracted from The National Hurricane Center.
