Doesn't work, it says to use chrome, they designed it not to work with IE? Yes, I like IE 7, I like the tools, makes it more user friendly for me.

Good idea, Greg, to bump this great wind map for all of us...members and visitors alike. It's a remarkable view of our winds in real time (+ or - a few minutes).
