The number of hurricanes have doubled over the last ten years, with meteorologists predicting another decade or two of elevated activity. A pair of companies have new mobile applications to help the approximately 85 million U.S. coastal residents get a handle on what’s going on during the peak of the storm season, August through October.
\nSurvivorSoft’s Hurricane Tracker ($18.95) is an application for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 2003 devices that monitors storms within the Atlantic Basin and Gulf of Mexico. My-Cast Digital Cyclone, has added a new Hurricane Tracker to version 5.0 of its My-Cast mobile weather service application. With the new feature, users can see the projected path of a hurricane or tropical storm in real-time with satellites focused directly on the eye of the storm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
According to Digital Cyclone Chairman Paul Douglas, “With the new Hurricane Tracker feature, My-Cast users get that extra margin of safety, the critical hurricane information they need delivered directly to their mobile phone, to get a head-start and take appropriate action.”<\/p>\n
Also included are StormWatch plots and warnings for affected counties, lightning tracking and alerts from the National Weather Service given virtually as they are issued.<\/p>\n
My-Cast features radar images that show the speed and direction of approaching weather, visible and infrared satellite imagery, plus hourly and extended forecasts for up to 7 days, the company says. With GPS-enabled phones, location-aware My-Cast delivers data for the precise current location of the user automatically.<\/p>\n
