We like this:
A demo of a mash-up for Google Earth to track hurricanes and other weather patterns using feeds from Weatherbonk, TropicalAtlantic and GUI Weather.
Seems like a useful tool for travel websites which are using Google Earth to show the location of properties and destinations. Unless you're a Caribbean tour operator trying to flog holidays in August, of course.

As much as it's in a tour ops interests (and duties) to warn and inform customers of impending hurricanes I'm not sure they'll ever be going that far ;-)I quite like Ibiseye for a good Google Maps tracking tool.
Steve E: Interesting point. We'll ask Travel Weekly if there is some kind of protocol with the Federation of Tour Operators.
