On a major news outlet today, this amazing (not) interactive map was featured on an article about the destructive Joplin Tornado.
You could click on the T and it gave you really poor info about that particular tornado. Other than a basic visual of where they hit, this map was worthless to me.
A Time Trail of the 2011 tornado outbreak, which has claimed over 500 lives, would be very interesting.
A Time Trail interactive map would show the destruction over time, would link to photo galleries of the storm, would contain all the public domain scientific info on the storm, and much more.
The general news-consuming public is finally getting used to dynamic interactive presentations embedded in their daily dose of spoon fed garbage. Why not make it a better experience?
