For my money, this is the most useful short term/nowcasting satellite tool. You can zoom in on a region, overlay county lines, change the resolution, and look at up to a half-day's worth of history. Super useful for visualizing streeting and wave in the Appalachians...

version; mindless repetition can be good!
