I had previously ignored this links on News.YC since hurricanes aren't a passion of mine, but glad I checked it out today. Very well done! Excellent job on the site and the interface. I found myself engrossed and playing with the data for much longer than I anticipated. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Matt! I was somewhat hesitant to put this up on the news, but since it is our startup and I've been following YC for a while now, I thought some folks might like to see it.
Really happy to hear that you were pulled in even though you're not a storm-o-phile.
We definitely seem to teeter somewhere between 'great interface' and 'whoa, I'm overwhelmed, there's too much data!' Density is what we are striving for, but legibility is paramount.
