OK -- here's one that I visit when the weather gets unsettled:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=RAX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
It doesn't work -- at least for me -- with the Firefox package; all I get is a

install of FC6 x86-64, and being able to access the above page is on my to-do
list.
