    Yeah I see what happened. The coordinates that I got back when I did a search for Lima, Ohio (via Google's geocoder) sent me to Lima street in Beaverdam for some reason.



    I'll make the adjustment. However I agree that the Challenge article seemed to mistake northeast and southwest so I'm not sure if I should move the strike location.

      At least it didn't send you to Lima Ave. in Findlay.

      I sometimes wonder if the same people named the streets in EVERY city in NW Ohio. Seems like every town that had more than two stoplights had a Street, Road, Avenue, or Boulevard named Wayne, Columbus, Franklin, Lima, Findlay, Detroit, or Marion. Findlay Road in Lima, Lima Avenue in Findlay.....ghack! Even better were county roads...the same road might be County Road 12, Township Road 18, and Marion-Gallion Road.

      Do our Aussie and Euro friends have nightmarish road names/systems

        Still having nightmares driving in the US:
        Since western Ohio, southern Michigan were settled about the same time (turn of the 19th century, right) they were influenced by the current popular terms and names--Rev War generals who influenced the region (Wayne), war heroes (Marion), great statesmen (Franklin), directional roads (Detroit, the-way-to)--not just roads but towns, townships, and counties, too.
        Have you tried navigating in the great state of Delaware They don't seem to use the same logic in displaying route signs and junction indicators. Luckily, it's a small state and if you get lost, you don't have to travel far from the other end to where you should have been going.

          I got a chuckle from the Delaware comment.

            weather underground has data for most areas of the US back to the 90s or earlier depending on the reporting station. I use it for weather data now if I can. A very nice tool IMO.
