PLUS the capabilities to:

	Advanced Wind Estimation (AWE). More accurate wind speed / damage estimates by taking into account surface friction.
	SLOSH Storm Surge Inundation Analysis
	"True" Pan and Zoom Interface. We now offer "true" Pan and Zoom capabilities. Now, after “building” an image with several tracking selections…you can zoom in, zoom out, or move the map. Regardless, all of your tracking selections remain!
	Native Google Earth support. In addition to the graphics interface above, this function export KML (Google Earth's native language) that represents a significant number of a storm's observed and forecast parameters.
	Expanded Google Earth Information. In addition to the LARGE amount of hurricane information that the user is able to export from the HURRTRAK system, you can also superimpose National Weather Service information on the same Google Earth “image”.
	Summary Report Google Earth Export with live web cams With the summary report export, you have the ability to view a "live" web cam image of the location being analyzed! The system is pre-loaded with about 100 web cams links. Alternatively, you may choose to override these locations and define your own live or static images!
	Expanded Historical Storm Databases. The system has all storm databases from 1851 to 2007 with wind radii! They are accessible from the main tracking program (i.e. not just the History module). The wind radii data is estimated for storms from 1851-1980
	Damage Comments. The summary impact report which details expected wind speeds for locations has a damage comment column which describes the likely damage using either the Saffir-Simpson scale or a modified Texas Tech University scale.
	Integration with Google Earth. This function provides the ability to export just about all of the system graphics and display them on Google Earth.
	AWE Wind Pattern graphic which shows the Advanced wind pattern field around the storm.
	New Animated Wind Pattern graphic. Same idea as above but now it can be animated.
	Support of National Hurricane Center Wind Probabilities
	Utilize a 30 meter Slosh Elevation database. This allows for detailed SLOSH Inundation Analysis
	"Executive" Style Impact Summary Reports.
	Point and Click Reports.
	Zip Code Wind Thematic. Similar to the county wind thematic except at a much more detailed level of zip code..
	Multi-colored wind arrows showing the storm's wind vectors.
	Additional Extensive reporting capabilities
	Overlay past storm tracks on the same chart as a current storm.
	SLOSH Inundation location reports. This allows the user to analyze specific locations to determine the storm surge flooding potential.
	Utilize an extensive historical analysis system which includes data from 1851 to 2006. It allows the user to search for storms by Name, Year, Intensity and Location (i.e. all storms in the past 75 years that passed within 27 miles of Miami, FL in the month of September). It will then allow the user to depict the selected storm tracks as well as display highly detailed storm data.
