The chart you are viewing is a hurricane tracking chart. It allows arm-chair storm chasers and nautical enthusiasts to track and record storm progress throughout the hurricane season. The official hurricane season for the Atlantic runs from June 1st to November 30th.
While the effects of inland hurricane activities are well documented, the impact hurricanes have on the coast line and waterways can be as devastating. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina accounted for as many as 300 obstructions to navigation as charted by NOAA.

First, I want to point out that the product was absolutely beautiful, well crafted and great design. If you are looking for a map print out that you only plan to view, it’s great.
Unfortunately I misunderstood “waterproof” to mean I could use dry erase markers on the product. You cannot! I traced my first storm, decided the market was too wide, and tried to wipe it off, which just smeared the ink into the grain. I tried a wet napkin and that rubbed off the printout. Bottom line, my map lasted about 15 minutes before I ruined it.
Bottom line, great map, but read the fine print before you decide to mark it - I didn’t do so and it cost me through my own fault and eagerness to get started.
