This is really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I've discovered the following was incorrect; this image below isn't getting updated. Is anyone providing this on an updated basis?

BTW, it seems to me some authors might not have said their placemarks would be updated regularly, but they seem to be getting updated anyway. For example, a transparent satellite image of the hurricane is getting its source from http://www.jpegger.com/fb/rita-vis.png, which is apparently getting updated. Besides's being quite attractive, it shows the size of the hurricane as well, so that one's a keeper for me. The name of this placemark is "Rita- 9-21,1445Z." That one is from: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/121856/an/0/page/2#121856
