How?Tap your BACK button to return to the main page from the images and text content.This is necessary as you are being directed to only the final image or text content itself and not to a page that contains other elements such as a "Return" link along with a lot of other useless information, graphics java and frames. If you are using a PocketPC, I recommend that you use view/layout/desktop so that the images will render at actual resolution. When you do, you will need to "scroll" to read the detail at full image resolution as not enough detail is visible when PIE compresses the image to fit the PocketPC's screen. On the newest PPC's, this is;
On older PPC's check;

Evacuation Information Note... I have not yet been successful in finding any Florida "Mobile Friendly" Highway, evacuation or other emergency information sites. Most FEIL (Florida Emergency Information Line) Information Pages have been found to be "Mobile Hostile" (if not simply "broken.") A high percentage of the information available is posted only in PDF format. Other than FEIL, all other Florida information I was able to find is not current and relates to past events and evacuation historical information. If you know of any "Text Only" or simple html sites with current Florida emergency information, please let me know the site addresses. Feedback Requested |
Load TimesAs Storms get closer to the coast, expect the load times for even the single images to get much longer... possibly becoming inacessable.Even so, you are much more likely to get to the image than those who are trying to obtain image using NHC/NOAA's full page access. |
Why?This page was created for use by mobile and other slow connection users to enable them to get critical information on Hurricanes without wasting time and bandwidth downloading unrelated information, junk, complexity, advertisements and other junk that seems always be present.If you are using a cellular data service such as GPRS, you may be paying for connect time by the amount of data downloaded... this site will assure that the cost for getting that content is at an absolute minimum. |
FeedbackI feel very strongly that mobile access to severe weather information is critical and want to provide help and learn more.Please email me if you find errors... especially if there are links that are not updating as well as pointing out other sites and methods which are usable when connecting using a mobile device. I'm open to receiving links to other sites, but, remember, my primary goal is to provide a minimal site that gives access to maximum information. |

PC with a broadband connection.
The following links will probably be overloaded as the hurricane approaches, so don't be surprised if the load times are extremely long., I suggest;
One Great Hurricane Resource! (Many of the "distilled" links were found on this page... thanks!) Crown Tropic Location Specific Radar and Weather information... lotta fluff though. Noaa National Noaa Houston Noaa Corpus Noaa Austin
Following is "Text Only," but, unfortunately, the text version this year has been terrible... last lear it gave easy access to graphic info, but this year it simply points to the bloated desktop compatible sites. Noaa Tropic Text Version Blogs including good technical info on the mechanics of hurricanes...
