At quick glance, the map shows 1 tornado, 10 wind reports and 4 hail reports. It's a pretty nifty tool for the storm chasers in the audience! :)

A river runs through it on Google Maps! This USGS/Google Maps hack shows you the locations of river gauges and the stream flow at those gauges. Pretty handy for the folks that like to hit the local rivers and streams to go fishing!

Gmaps Pedometer is a tool which allows you to plot distance in miles for runs, walks, rollerblades, dog-trots.. whatever! You just zoom into the area of your route, start recording and then double click each turn in your route. This is VERY cool! Note to the metric folks reading this. One mile is approximately equal to 1.61 kilometres! :)
