Check this out! The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Rocky Mountain Geographic Science Center (RMGSC) have just released the Natural Hazards Support System (NHSS), an online tool that allows users to track earthquakes, hurricanes, major fires and a host of other hazards and warnings from lake effect snow to nuclear power plant warnings and their effects on interstate highway systems. The viewer can be launched at the push of a button, allowing for views of the US and the entire world. Regen time isn't particularly swift (and it crashed while I was using it), but the potential is great.
