hey gang...

i found some neat sites that allow kids to get an idea of what a hurricane
is really like. check out these links:

the first shows some neat-o satellite imagery

4%20Storm%20Events&event=Hurricane%20Ivan

the next is some cool java script animation that shows the movement of
hurricane ivan

the last is the best demo...footage of a gas station bearing the brunt of
the storm hurricane charley. it's incredible footage that lasts just under
2 minutes....you'll need windows media player for this. it might be easiest
if you download the clip to your drive.
