Typhoon Haiyan in Google Earth

This is Typhoon Haiyan, an extremely powerful cyclonic storm about to make life difficult in the Philippines.

This beast is dangerous.


I hope people respect the storm and take cover.

TS Erin in Google Earth

This is Tropical Storm Erin, which I first learned of from Erin Burnett Out Front on CNN last evening.

I looked it up in Google Earth and this is what I saw. We need to keep an eye on this one, it could be a monster if and when it nears the US coast.

If it is hard to see, the storm is near the Cape Verde Islands.

I will post a satellite picture of TS Erin once it becomes a symmetrical hurricane.


I always did like the name Erin. I knew a girl in school named Erin. I wonder what happened to her.
