Animated Maps of Florida Tornadoes, 1950-1995

The goal of this exercise was to create an animated map of tornadoes in Florida
by month. Every student was assigned a decade of data, ranging from the 1950's to the 1990's.
Visitors can examine a map animation from each decade to examine the change in location,
frequency, and damage from tornadoes over the past half-century.

These maps were first created in Adobe's Illustrator 8.0 using Avenza's MaPublisher 3.5.
The Flash animations were created in Adobe's LiveMotion 1.0
