(Chuck Almdale, suggested by Lillian Johnson & Ray Juncosa)

At this very moment as I begin writing this, we’re having an earthquake: the window rattled, the house shivered and my chair shifted a bit…a moment later…I googled “earthquake now los angeles” and this popped up:

Ojai is 45 miles west of me, so it’s no big deal. But this post is about weather, not earthquakes, the floor has stopped moving, so we move on.

Working on the theory that this is a site about Audubon Society and birds, and birds often sail along on storm winds and so they can show up anywhere, and you, dear reader might like to know that so you can go outside and see them rocketing by, we present the following. All the sites below have options and displays not illustrated below. Have fun, play around. Watch the wind-blown birds, fires, heat waves, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and just plain bad air moving along as they all come to get you.

WINDY.COM – Link to Windy.com

Winds, temperatures, forecasts, rain, thunder, clouds, waves.
Zoom in and out. And so on. Lots of options. Here’s some screen snips. On the site things like currents and winds move. The snips below are stationary.
1. Wind, centered on our current incoming hurricane as of about 3PM. Hurricane Hilary is centered about 100 miles south of San Diego on the west edge of Baja. Wind speed & direction shown. Blue is slow: violet is fast.

2. Satellite picture with temperature overlay.

3. Hurricane Hilary tracker, Sunday 3 PM.
