This RPub shows how to visualize some hurricane trajectories in R. (Thanks a lot to all the RStudio team for your awesome job!)
Inspired by Aaron Koblin's flight patterns and by Mapped British Shipping, I decided to play with a different data about storms (i.e. hurricanes) and try to map their trajectories.
