Great collection of storm tracking and weather tools for Google Earth

Frank Taylor at the Google Earth Blog has posted a great round-up of the best weather-related tools for Google Earth.

The best piece of this post is the huge weather and storm tracking tools collection network link.  It contains a handful of folders with various kinds of data, which includes:

• two global hurricane tracking tools
• global cloud maps
• current global lightning strikes animation
• severe weather warning data and radar data for the US
• a large collection of weather image overlays from TropicalAtlantic
• weather observations for the US from WeatherBonk
• a real-time day/night viewing tool
• the global annual lightning flash rate map from NASA

If you enjoy following the weather, this is well worth checking out.
