wind map of approaching typhoon

Type "global wind map" into Google, then click on the topmost link of the search results. This takes you to the website called earth.nullschool.net, where you can see real-time wind patterns all over the globe. It's a fascinating website, and right now, it's proving to be a useful way to visualize the coming storm, Typhoon Bavi, headed right up the pipe to Korea.

Here's a screen capture of how things look right now, but I highly recommend that you visit the website itself because the wind patterns are animated there, and the whole planet looks spookily like a living organism that breathes in many directions.
