Just noting, I think these are visualizations of "fire progressions" which means that this is the equivalent of watching an animated radar map (though perhaps less accurate?). We see where the fire was estimated to be after the fact. Not what the fire will do.
Amazing to see the scale of the fires on this map. Nice work Cody and the rest of the Simtable team, looks great! --joshua On Jun 17, 2013, at 7:47 AM, Nicholas Thompson <nickthomp...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Cody, > > From my point of view this plug wasn’t shameless enough.
