Sorry these are coming in fast and furious. Thanks to Ivan Ius in Guelph

Hi Folks,

In light of the recent events with Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy there is a great lesson created through GIS Lounge. The lesson looks at the track of historical hurricanes through out the world (even Canada's east coast) to help study them. Great for your grade 9, 11 and 12 geography courses. It can be used as a demonstration lesson on a class SMART board, class computer lab or take home lab assignment. You do not need to be a GIS expert to do this!

The website for the lesson:
