I had a thought while reading a similar thread. I realized that I had no clue what a good program for tracking hurricanes was. Living in Florida and surviving a hit by Ivan the Terrible sort of gave me a perspective on these things. Windows has the trackers, of course, several good ones, but what about Linux?
I've used Megatrack- http://weather.rudis.net/megatrack/ - it's a java application. It does have a bug in it- you have to delete the database file every time you run it ( ~/.MegaTrack/UserDB ).
I do that, too, but I don't always track hurricanes online. I have a tracking poster on my wall - since I'm Information Central Alpha for my family in four towns - but like to have a computerized track that I can refer to without turning on my modem.
