Radar data via RainViewer is limited to areas with radar coverage, and may show anomalies. Weather forecast maps use the latest data from the NOAA-NWS GFS model. Imagery is captured at approximately 10:30 local time for “AM” and 13:30 local time for “PM”. HD satellite images are updated twice a day from NASA-NOAA polar-orbiting satellites Suomi-NPP, and MODIS Aqua and Terra, using services from GIBS, part of EOSDIS. Heat source maps show the locations of wildfires and areas of high temperature using the latest data from FIRMS and InciWeb.

Tropical storm tracks are created using the latest forecast data from NHC, JTWC, NRL and IBTrACS. 2500 kilometres from the north-east (the cross border rivers Meuse, Moselle, Sarre and Rhine) through to the Mediterranean.

So although this great flood occurred, it couldn't have actually inspired great flood myths.Zoom Earth visualizes the world in real-time. It's not known when the Bible-specifically the Book of Genesis and the story of Noah's Ark -was written, but it could not have been more than a few thousand years ago. But the only creatures living around the Mediterranean at the time were non-human animals, like canines and ancestors of camels. At the time, 5.33 million years ago, the Zanclean megaflood must have seemed overwhelming and all-encompassing to those who lived there. Stories of enormous, and sometimes global, floods are common throughout mythology. Researchers examined sedimentary rock and a 90-meter underwater cliff that seems to have been carved by a drastic and sudden flooding event, adding evidence to our body of knowledge about how the Mediterranean changed its surroundings so quickly. The water rose roughly 30 feet per day, rushing at 100 miles per hour, passing through Noto Canyon and filling out the body of water to be more like the voluminous Mediterranean Sea we know today. The water eroded the channel and filled the western Mediterranean.
