Cane allows you to pull up past hurricanes and replay them in animated reproductions of the storm. This app gives you options unlike any other tracker out there! The 2 most incredible features that Cane provides are: 1) The ability to pull up past storms side by side with other storms 2) The ability to fly through a hurricane in an animation as if you were flying in an airplane along the actual hurricane path. This animation is so stunning that it has to be seen to be believed! Cane leverages all of the data available from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) and other sources to give you as much information as possible at your fingertips.
