i got really distracted working on something else and ended up making an animation of every NWS alert this year w/ data from @akrherz / iowa enivornmental mesonet: jimhollenbach.com/wwa

@currankelleher @LAcrimsonviking @akrherz The data here is from the IEM: mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/request/gis/wa…. The polygons are low-res so I joined against a high-res map of counties using IDs or overlap when the polygons didn't really match a single county. A bit busy right now but I'll try to dump to GitHub next week.

@jdhollen @LAcrimsonviking @akrherz How did you get the data? I'm looking to reproduce this data pipeline. Not sure where to start. Are there any existing API endpoints that serve this data? A glimpse into your pipeline code (however unclean it is) would be most useful. Thanks!

i made my first game this weekend during #LDJAM! it's called DEFRAG and if you're on a computer, you can play it at jdhollen.itch.io/defrag. it's got those good hurry-up-and-finish graphics.

@jkeyeser @jamesaydelott @Akherz I'd be interested to look if you can point at the specific warning--the way that I'm snapping warnings to counties right now, I'd pretty much expect to have *some* errors, but I'd at least want to confirm that it's one of those.

@jamesaydelott @jdhollen @akherz I actually need to go back and look but I think I spotted a bug in something. There is one county in eastern Idaho that seems to be left out when it should be included in a WWA headline. Maybe it's not due to zone config, but sure looks wrong.

This is cool. Every National Weather Service alert this year. twitter.com/jdhollen/statu…

@LAcrimsonviking @akrherz haven't cleaned up the code for processing the data yet, but the ui is here: github.com/jdhollen/data-…

@jdhollen @akrherz Do you mind sharing the github link?

@Lala_Firehawk @akrherz Hi! It's the National Weather Service (@NWS). The "live" map that shows the current state is spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa/

A couple of people asked for it, so I added separate pages for 2017: jimhollenbach.com/wwa/?year=2017 and 2016: jimhollenbach.com/wwa/?year=2016

@TTremblingEarth here you go! there's a link for 2016 a little further down the page as well. jimhollenbach.com/wwa/?year=2017

@TTremblingEarth thanks! i've got local copies for the last couple of years, just haven't published it yet. soon!

I adore this way of viewing weather's impact on society. Would love to see full years of animations twitter.com/jdhollen/statu…

@WXMinh @cjmoose @akrherz hey folks--i put this up now, though admittedly the way that alerts work for winter storms is much easier to track visually (for me, at least) than summer storms: jimhollenbach.com/wwa/?year=2017

@lyssmariem @akrherz cool! i wanted to have something like your callouts for major events, but the map ended up being too frantic/moving too quickly to even try :)

@notthekeri @notthekeri is a true friend @almeda @clifstweets
