Challenge #84: Map Hurricane Harvey's Storm Evolution

I had a lot of fun figuring out how to join the segments of the line and adjust the averages to reflect that. Learned about multi point spatial objects and lines (:

It took me a while to figure out how to get rid of the gaps.  I'm sure I'll see some other approaches!Challenge_84_solution.png

I challenge the average intensity calculation. Visually mine kinda looks correct but does not agree with the solution.

Practicing for Advanced Exam, so I built this a few different ways, but I like the simple approach, even if it doesn't exactly match the given solution for the calculated averages (same as other solutions that used this averaging approach).

Names of hurricanes don't change as they go do they?

I assumed I should only be looking at Harvey data

Cool to track hurricanes! Haha

That was interesting. The hardest part was trying to remove the gaps in the line segments.

I used the averages of the sections, which line up with other solutions, but not the one provided. Hey ho

Trickier than I thought but felt great after figuring it out 🙂 Basically have to add a few steps to duplicate the start/end point of each segment to make the poly line smooth. Thanks for sharing this challenge!
