Why are the Hourly Storm Reports sooo large?? It would be nice if the storm report icons were re-done, like round white stones for hail, a wind sweep for wind, tornado for tornado reports.



If I ever have time to do that, then I probably will. As for the size, it seems about right to me, but my screen is running at a pretty high resolution. I guess if you are running at a lower resolution then it might take up more space.

Have you tried changing your icons size settings to small under the GE Options tab?

Also, why are Hourly Storm Reports on for about a day? I figured it would be Hourly-- meaning they would go away after an hour or two.




I just get data that are the same as on this page. The SPC's "hourly" means "updated hourly", not "the last hour's worth." Frequently, storm reports don't come in until a few hours after the fact, so packaging them as "the last hour" might not make a whole lot of sense, anyway.

Otherwise, thank you so much for this feature!!!! It really is useful. Have any thoughts about doing lightning strikes for the past hour? Or is it even possible? Thanks for at least reading this if nothing else!




You're welcome.

As for lightning data, those are usually proprietary and you would have to go to a lighting data company such as Vaisala to request the data (costs $$$).
