You're supposed to duck and cover.
An interesting example of a simple applet running on top of the standard
Yahoo-Mapquest type of map. (I presume it's just an applet. It could be.)
I ran my own site, assuming hits on Sunnyvale, CA (Moffet Field, Onizuka
AFB, "Blue Cube" satellite tracking center) and Monterey (Fort Ord, now
shut down, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, other small sites). Not
surprisingly, the applet uses a simple model of winds blowing due east.
Still, one of the more entertaining applets I've seen.
