Check out this beautiful remix of our flood maps by Sha Hwang.
A couple of us got to see Sha present at the Visualized conference, and I was really moved by his sense of design and the world around him. So I was honored when he asked if he could use our map tiles for this experiment. I think it’s a nice improvement on our interface.
Click through to his interactive version.
