Cartographic Animation

This is an example of cartographic animation (although I can't get it to animate). I figured I would stick with the 

Hurricane Elena theme. We have all seen what a moving hurricane looks like on the weather channel. 

I find hurricanes interesting because their path cannot be truly forecasted, sometimes, as with Elena, 

they veer off the expected fairly quickly.
