I just released a new website that overlays strom reports onto Google Maps. It's quite new and just wanted to get people's impressions on it. Tell me what you think!

http://www.stormreportmap.com

For the technical aspects:
It grabd a CSV formatted file from the National Weather Service, parses it into an XML file and stores it into a database backend. It displays the stored DB information to the user. It also checks a timestamp, if the timestamp on the data that the user is requesting is out of date, then it automtaically refreshes the data for that user and updates the database acoordingly.
