1. Point taken. 'Is this data in scope?' is something we need to take seriously.
2. Glad you said this. I would like to do the same. It would be nice if it didn't take a lot of work to explain. Maybe footnotes would do for now instead of a big 'Help' section.
3. Also glad you said this, since I myself am not sure what the RGB channels are. It's funny that you are criticizing the quality, not because I disagree, but since I had nothing to do with the satellite images (they are government-produced). I'd like to hear more about 'arcsinh stretching'.
4. That is the sunrise.
5. I definitely want to get as much as possible on the map. However, I do like having the larger canvas of the HTML page for data that just can't fit. I appreciate your feedback on this since I want to stay motivated to strive for more density in the map window.
6. Yeah, you're right. Should either kill the buoy table or find a better way of organizing the data. Coincidentally, that data is on the map. If you see a blue or red square on the map you can click them. Those are buoys. We could use a legend.
7. Definitely possible, it's already in the code. I think the dot already exists, it's just always the latest color hue--i.e. the shade of white to red that corresponds to the current speed, rather than red all the time, since red represents a Category 5 storm.

8. Thanks a lot.
