What's the latest on Warning Decision Support System-II (WDSS-II) for Google Earth? Are any of you using it? Thoughts?
To me it seems somewhat nifty, but it always seems like lots of the products are unavailable. Like right now I can't get many of the radar products such as Hail Swath to load. It's cool when it works. I remember checking it once after a big hail storm hit San Marcos with a friend of mine's wife driving nearby. It was very accurate considering the hail size, damage, etc.
I've never been able to get rotation tracks to work (that I recall) and this is disappointing. All of us chasers love to wander the damage paths the day after just to see what we see (assuming it's not in an urban area hindering emergency services). Anyone else ever get this to work?
Are there any other updates for this I don't know about? Anyone know any nifty details or hints about using it?
I note that with the Plus version (I believe) you can plot your gps location on the map. That could be handy for rotation tracks / hail swaths etc.
