When a tropical weather system approaches the Gulf of Mexico, 2theadvocate.com will have continually updated weather maps, satellite images and weather data available around the clock.
All weather systems are monitored in conjunction with the WBRZ Weather Center and updated with information on the 2theadvocate.com home page, whether the system is in the Atlantic or in the Gulf of Mexico. Breaking weather alerts can be sent out to viewers and readers via cell phones, PDAs and other hand-held personal information devices.
When a tropical system — depression, storm or hurricane — enters the Gulf of Mexico, information and satellite images of the storm are displayed at the top of the home page with more information added as the storm strengthens or comes close to Louisiana. If a storm is near, a frequently updated storm story will provide readers with ongoing information as soon as 2theadvocate.com gets it. This year, the ability to add comments to stories will allow readers to tell others locations of damage, power outages and other hazardous situations caused by a storm in the area.
2theadvocate.com will utilize the Associated Press’ storm-tracking map, which will add coordinates of each new system as it develops. Evacuation routes and paths of previous storms will be available online, as well as the information in this special section. Additional hurricane season features from The Weather Underground will also be available.
