Getting real with Google Earth

I am getting real with Google Earth.

Recently, I have equipped my Google Earth with real-time data like global infrared images, global cloud map, global water vapor, and a few cool things that are possible with it. Now, it is a chance of me becoming a weatherman, sort of!

I catch a glimpse of Talim Typhoon which has recently hit Taiwan and China. Now, It is heading towards Japan. And, it is big: its average radius is about 300-400km (it can engulf the whole Peninsula Malaysia with ease.)
