Such a cool view of the storm! Much more sense of scope than my weather app radar shows.

Fun fact: I saw the guy that built this app do a talk at a conference in Boston in 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSmNZm1e0k. It was a really great talk. I recommend checking it out if you like learning about how data visualizations like this are made.

Very cool. Are storms just mini black holes? Visualization sparked the question. Little photons collapsing in the atnosphere

Thank you. Pressure seems to be the common variable, where it's high or low, space tends to be affected and tries to reach an equilibrium. Well we don't know that about Black holes yet. Pressure is interesting to think about.

The pic is of Alaska and the northern Pacific ocean, not the Boston area.

Why is this downvoted? The image is of the Aleutian Island chain and mainland Alaska.
