Wind As A Visualization

A wind map of the lower 48 U.S. states. The first map is zoomed in on the northeast right now and the second are screen shots of past days/times.  The lines indicate wind speed, as "delicate traceries." These lovely visualizations look like salt marsh grasses blowing in the breeze.  If it doesn't work for you, try Chrome.

From the site: "An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. 

This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US right now." 

Thanks @dianamaps! She posted about this.
