Ever visualized the gradient from calm -> violent winds in a hurricane eyewall?? The ocean surface does it here. Truly one of the best weather photos of the last few years.

8/15 update - cool to see big swaths fill in from reports. Hard to see some patterns/distinguish colors with so many storms now, so I've outlined some major ones. Plan is to turn this into a fully illustrated and labeled map!

Progress on the new map! . Reply with your storm and county location - I'll like your reply when I've added it. Still missing several major storms and swaths - patiently adding and waiting for more reports. Already remarkable how much is from Helene.
