I add them as a topmost layer

Oh boy! Now you did it. Now I see things I would really like. For
example how do you get the grid square numbers to show up? I'm
guessing you have the map background set to black? How did
you....... two questions at a time is already too many..... lol
Nice looking map, I have the hurricane itself and all the rings,
very cool by the way. I'm just not seeing any of the precip yet.
Thanks for sharing your map....

CC'ing the list so I don't get a bunch of questions.
It isn't for Ike specifically, it's for the US composite doppler.
Zoom out and you should see precip in the US
If you go to http://www.n1ics.net/asp/ike.png you'll see what I
see for the Gulf coast. The image is updated at 5 minute
intervals, but you'll have to refresh by hand. As it gets closer
I'll track and zoom to see what the weather stations are doing.
Most of Ike is too far off shore. When it went past Florida, you
saw arcs of precip off the west coast of FL which were the edges
of the Doppler range. It will be a weird looking one until it
gets close because they don't have Dopplers in the Gulf (maybe
they ought to park one on an oil platform.) In my PNG, if you
look in grid square EL58, I think that precip return is maybe the
edge of an outer rain band. Ditto for EL27/EL28.

Sorry to keep buggin you.
Does it need anything special for a name? Do I need to give it
any particular Properties?
So far I've named id Ike#1.geo but don't see it on the map.

FWIW, here is one that uses Iowa State instead of TAMU (also

Good luck and stay dry

For what it's worth, Ike is heading toward a coastline near
me now. I don't know if we'll really have anything more than
a little wind and rain but if radar composites go away,
that's likely why, and we'll be back up as soon as I can
manage a recovery plan.
