I'd love to see a Hurricane/Typhoon tracking widget. Hurricane season runs from June through to November in the US, however Typhoons are a near permanent feature of the western pacific. A widget to track the progress of these storms would be very cool.

Some sources of info for Hurricanes/Typhoons:

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
http://www.npmoc.navy.mil/jtwc.html
http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/tc_home.html
http://www.solar.ifa.hawaii.edu/Tropical/tropical.html

I posted this on http://www.dashboardwidgets.com/ in the hope that someone might make one :D :D

HMMMMM....i can't believe i'm the only one that would be interested in a widget like this. :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
I think it'd be incredibly cool!
I'll get off my butt and learn how to make a widget.
Then, I will have an awesome skill to go along with my awesome numchuku(sp?). yesss.....
(No, I didn't just watch Napoleon Dynamite.. why do you ask?)

No you're not. I used to be a major weather geek when I was younger and hurricanes were my favorite thing. I could tell you the name of every hurricane for select years, and even probably the maximum windspeed, location of landfall, and damage for a lot of them off of the top of my head. For me, a hurricane tracking widget would be sickass.
