Everything seems to converge and head through North Dakota on the Great Plains...from the Rockies and from the Appalachians as well...except, of course for the whirligig that Isaac is spinning.
That may well be the best map I've ever seen...Thanks!
I was born in North Dakota, my parents both grew up in the state, and I can remember my mother saying that she couldn't remember a moment when the wind wasn't blowing...audibly.
Now I can see why.
