Powerful Nature in a paragraph
Powerful Nature is a family of four free Android apps for a restless planet. Quake puts every earthquake on a live map within minutes, Storm follows every hurricane, typhoon and cyclone on its official forecast track, Volcano shows what is erupting and which volcanoes are on alert, and Fire shows wildfires and smoke seen from space. All four use public data from the agencies that track these events, including USGS, EMSC, NOAA, NASA, the Smithsonian and GDACS. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
The four apps
Storm
Where's it heading?
Where is it heading? Storm follows every hurricane, typhoon and cyclone on the planet, with the official forecast track and cone, its wind speed and category, and how close it will come to you.
Volcano
What's erupting?
What's erupting right now? Volcano follows the restless mountains of the world, with the latest activity reports, official alert levels and the story of each volcano.
Fire
Where's it burning?
See where it's burning. Fire maps active wildfires and the heat that satellites pick up from orbit, tells you how far the nearest fire is, and shows which way the wind is taking the smoke.
