But the happy surprise of encountering something completely different from the Tiny Tim-style hamming or banjo-plucking embarrassment of your imagination doesn’t wholly explain the deep love the orchestra inspires, not just in Britain, but also in Europe and as far away as New Zealand and Japan.

For those of you who are interested, Stormpulse is a really cool site that tracks hurricanes in both the Atlantic and Pacific regions.  Check them out.  They take data from NOAA, mash it with Google Maps, and produce some beautiful tracking maps.  They also have the latest satellite images (also from NOAA).
