The weather news tab was not very useful for the East Coast. More than half the results were not in English or ASCII. The results were just spam links in Chinese, Telugu and Russian. The biggest two spam sites seemed to be stcn and ifeng.
Agreed. The problem with GDELT is unless you're in a major city zip, no news will display. Fallsback to state level which includes some of the junk you see. Going to create a whitelist of sites/networks to make it cleaner. There are some good weather news updates from random local sites that GDELT picks up which would be the only sacrifice here.
Nice implementation, very slick. Very easy to get an overview without having to jump around, like you said. I did something similar for our local news and community site, but it is limited to nearby weather stations.
My favorite thing about this project is that it's 100% html and you're hosting it for free on GitHub pages. Thanks for sharing! GH repo: https://github.com/jeisey/stormwatch
Really nice, I’ve not seen weather and preparedness packaged this way (and so beautifully). Great work!
I appreciate the respect for privacy, but I'm visiting... somewhere in middle America (in the storm path) for a wedding and don't know my zip code. Click for location is convenient in this and similar cases.
Excellent feedback, will add that to my list of updates. Appreciate it.
This is very nice!
Please tell me the username "jeisey" is a play on New Jersey accents and this was inspired by today's storm therein.
I now know the weather in Beverly Hills...
Haha! Me too! Based in the UK it's one the few ZIPs I know by heart . It's a great site though!
