Nice upload. What radar did you use?

@Killerwhitefluff We use the entire national RADAR network and then cut out little composite subset tiles for different towns around the country. In this case we use a dynamic tile location based on the JTWC cyclone trajectory. It is a shame it doesn't look so good on the size and aspect ratio that youtube uses, I might see if I can do something to improve that in the future.

I have just added a link to the native resolution movie in the description box above.
