What the world thinks of hurricanes? As the sand storm hit the east coast of the United States, John Nelson developer has developed this new vision of the world to show how America and Asia have been affected by these storms go back to the archives.

NOAA data, which is the definitive database of extreme weather events over the years. It is in the world from the bottom up - that is, looking down in Antarctica. This is a new way of seeing a world dominated by the Western hemisphere normally. The United States is at the top right of the map to the left Asia and Africa in the background. The brightest points, the more intense the storm.

Nelson says:

Detection

has risen sharply since the satellite technology, but especially since we started recording storms in the Eastern Hemisphere. In addition, the proportionality between the seriousness of the storm seems to be year after year more consistent with the benefit of more data
