June LM Community Coding Challenge!

Here is a simple python version - it still needs more work but I don’t have time to review all of the NOAA and Google API documentation for location tracking in order to determine how to parse the received data from those services. This example parses json data but it could be received in csv format. If anyone knows the format that Google API and NOAA uses I could update further. 

import requests
import json

# Function to retrieve hurricane data from noaa.gov
def get_hurricane_data():
    url = "https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/forecast/archive/latest_wsp_5day_latest.zip"

    try:
        response = requests.get(url)
        # Process the response and extract data
        
        # Return the extracted hurricane data
        return hurricane_data
 

# Function to display severity warnings
def display_severity_warnings(hurricane_data):
    # Extract the relevant severity information from hurricane_data

    print("----- Severity Warnings -----")
    print("Hurricane:", hurricane_data["name"])
    print("Severity Level:", hurricane_data["severity"])
    print("Warning Message: ")

    if hurricane_data["severity"] == "Category 1":
        print("This hurricane is categorized as a Category 1 storm.")
    elif hurricane_data["severity"] == "Category 2":
        print("This hurricane is categorized as a Category 2 storm.")
    elif hurricane_data["severity"] == "Category 3":
        print("This hurricane is categorized as a Category 3 storm.")
    elif hurricane_data["severity"] == "Category 4":
        print("This hurricane is categorized as a Category 4 storm.")
    elif hurricane_data["severity"] == "Category 5":
        print("This hurricane is categorized as a Category 5 storm.")

    print("-----------------------------")

# Google Maps location tracking
def track_location():
    # code to track the user's location using Google Maps API.
  

    print("----- Location Tracking -----")
    print("Tracking user's location on Google Maps...")
    # tracking code here
    print("Location tracked successfully.")
    print("-----------------------------")

# Main script execution
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Step 1: Retrieve hurricane data
    hurricane_data = get_hurricane_data()

    # Step 2: Display severity warnings
    display_severity_warnings(hurricane_data)

    # Step 3: Track user's location
    track_location()
