STORM ANALYSIS
Storm positions and motion are derived from official warning metadata where supplied. NWS motion bearings are FROM bearings; StormWatch reverses them 180° to draw the projected direction of travel. EarthWatch uses official warning and storm-motion metadata for severe-weather structure. ROTATION markers use authoritative NWS warning metadata (including tornadoDetection / tornadoDamageThreat) where supplied; they are not raw radar-derived mesocyclone detections. Track cones show 30/60-minute extrapolation from supplied storm motion.

DATA STATUS
Initialising feeds…
LIVE means EarthWatch has received a successful response within that feed’s expected refresh window. STALE means the last successful response is older than expected. ERROR means recent refresh attempts have failed; the last successful data may still be displayed where available.
OFFICIAL WARNING COVERAGE
Where a blank map means EarthWatch has checked an official warning source — and where coverage is still being expanded.
GLOBAL DISASTER LAYERS (GDACS, USGS, FIRMS, EONET, tsunami, volcano and cyclone feeds) operate separately from national meteorological-warning coverage. Coverage status does not mean a region is hazard-free.
