NEW YORK, Sept. 5 2008 - EarthCam, the world premier global webcam network, today invited webcam owners in the path of possible hurricanes Hanna, Ike and Josephine to post live views of their local areas.

As hurricane Gustav raged last weekend, EarthCam visitors tripled the traffic on the popular international site to view local weather cameras from already existing MyCam and public webcams.

With the free "MyCam" software, anyone can share and save live images on an easily created personal homepage that includes local time and weather conditions.

The EarthCam editor offers a library of themes and the option to create personalized themes, as well as color text fonts and formatting. Each webcam site includes the opportunity to market websites to generate funds.

All websites submitted will be considered for promotion on the EarthCam site.
