Step 1: https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov here you should find an image of a storm, make sure to use one of the pink/purple layers as it will be important later. Then use the screenshot tool on the website to snap a pic of the storm.

Step 2: get into GIMP, import a map of the Atlantic you use for tracks and the storm image in.

Step 3: Resize and position the storm wherever you want it on the map.

Step 4: Discolorize the image, then increase the contrast and invert the image. you now have a black and white image of the storm, with the storm being white and the surrounding water black/dark

Step 5: use the Color to Alpha effect to change the color black to alpha/transparent. you now have the storm image without the water.

Step 6: position the storm where you want it with more precision

STep 7: done!
