With a few exceptions, current weather tracking technology only continues to evolve. The use of satellites allows for accurate readings and forecasts of upcoming weather events. These discoveries, coupled with inventions such as the marine VHF radio, which can send help up to 60 nautical miles away, help warn the crew of impending disaster before the storm hits. Although many ships have been destroyed by storms in the past, today's technology is humanity's solution against the relentless forces of the ocean.
