get_storm_data is a wrapper function to make it more
convenient to access the various storm products.
Types of products:
Storm Discussions. This is technical information on the cyclone such as satellite presentation, forecast model evaluation, etc.
Forecast/Advisory. These products contain the meat of an advisory package. Current storm information is available as well as structural design and forecast data.
Position Estimate. Issued generally when a storm is threatening; provides a brief update on location and winds.
Public Advisory. Issued for public knowledge; more often for Atlantic than East Pacific storms. Contains general information.
Strike Probability. Discontinued after the 2005 hurricane season, strike probabilities list the chances of x-force winds in a particular city.
Cyclone Update. Generally issued when a significant change occurs in the cyclone.
Wind Probability. Replace strike probabilities beginning in the 2006 season. Nearly identical.
Progress bars are displayed by default. These can be turned off by setting the dplyr.show_progress to FALSE. Additionally, you can display messages for each advisory being worked by setting the rrricanes.working_msg to TRUE.
