If you love hurricanes and become glued to your TV during hurricane season, this site's for you. NOAA's National Hurricane Center has set up a virtual tour of their actual facility. You can see panoramic views of the different rooms along with an audio description of each. Rooms included in the tour are the main NHC operations, the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch operations, the Chief Aerial Reconnaissance Coordination All Hurricanes, FEMA liason, Media & Seminar Room, NOAA Miami Regional Library, and the NOAA National Weather Service Miami Forecast Office.

Also, here's a crazy little tidbit I found from The Weather Notebook...
On this date back in 1987, International Falls, Minnesota recorded its 6th straight record high. However, that was about to change. A strong cold front was moving through bringing much colder weather. Sioux City, Iowa received 2" of snow after recording a record high of 88 degrees the day before.
