If you like playing with Google Earth the blog is worth a visit. There are hundreds of kml and kmz files on there that you can download.

I`m a bit of a technophobe but i am gonna give it a go, cheers mate

Download this file, load it into GE and you should see some new layers in your GE Sidebar. Make sure you drag them into your "My Places" folder before you exit Google Earth. Don't expect instant results, it can take 20 or 30 minutes for GE to build up all the overlays.

It worked! I Clicked on the link & went straight to GE then saved it, shut down GE then went back on it & IT WORKED! BRILLIANT! I`m de-moting myself from megatechnophobe to technophobe thanks to you, cheers mate

No problem, have fun!

I feel sorry for Cuba though. This looks like a second major hit in a bit over a week and this one might rake a long section of the island.

Ike is doing interesting things

interesting

 

Not the adjective many will use if this monster hits any land - has blown up to a cat 4 with 145mph SUSTAINED winds - might be even higher at the next advisory. It wasn't meant to be able to do this as conditions weren't 'meant' to be conducive to rapid intensification! My very good mate Paul is flying out to Florida on Saturday - spending the first week on a water front Condo near Cocoa Beach.

Let's hope that Ike likes the sea and stays away from land.

 

As you say, he is showing potential for bringing plenty of misery to many people.
