(on edit)Crap, you'll have to go to the actual website to see it - there's a State Farm logo in the corner.

Not the storm itself so much; look in the lower right corner. The sponsor.

1. Wunderground
is my number one source of weather maps. I can keep track of storms real close to home.

3. The "W" stands for weather.
Of course Weather Underground, a.k.a. the Weathermen, was the name of a domestic terrorist organization in the 1970s.

4. Hey that's a very good site...weatherunderground.com
...Is Skinner expanding his blog empire?

I see what you mean about the State Farm logo which appears on other graphics, but not all of the graphics. There are four on the bottom row and one on the top row where I did not see the logo.

The one on the bottom left which shows the storm cloud system animation moving out and across the map is really quite good. Thanks for the link

5. Weather Underground is one of the best sites for weather out there.
Skinner should have taken out a copyright on the "underground" naming of sites.

9. Good thing Skinner didn't copyright it! :-)
I'd have to give up my http://www.militaryunderground.com and http://www.parishiltonunderground.com

Now, if anyone wants to fuck up the neocons and totally misrepresent their agenda, feel free to go to http://www.neoconunderground.com and post away with some of the most outrageous bullshit you can think of.. :evilgrin:

7. Great. They'll sponsor hurricane weather coverage.
They just won't pay for the damages that one does when you have one of their own policies. :eyes:
