Hurricane Gustav

Last week I decided randomly to download some doppler radar software, and stumbled on GRLevel3. It is really good software and is worth buying.

So I thought I was tracking thunderstorms in Louisiana, but I hadn't heard of Hurricane Gustav. So the next day I opened up GRLevel3 and noticed what was happening.

I recorded speeds of around 120-130mph, which made it a category 3.

But after it had spent some hours over land, it lost a lot of its shape:


The blue boxes are flood warnings, the red boxes are Tornado Warnings.

Thats all for now!
