"TIP OF THE WEEK
The winter of 2013-14 has already seen several major storms across the
country, many of which have snarled travel by road, rail and air.
Although weather-focused sites have plenty of news and headlines on
current conditions, you can also get an overview of official warnings
and advisories on the Google Public Alerts page at google.org/publicalerts.
The
Public Alerts page features a list of current bulletins alongside a map
of the country, with areas under storm warnings, advisories and alerts
shaded in orange.
Zooming
in to a specific area of the map offers more information, including a
pop-up box with a summary of the alert and links to the full
announcement on the National Weather Service’s website.
Zooming
out of the map shows public alerts elsewhere around the world. Along
with inclement weather, other events like earthquakes and wildfires are
also noted — making the site one place to go for a quick and uncluttered
look at the state of things, no matter where you are or where you may
be going. J. D."
