Tropical Storn Paths in 2000

Using data from the nasaweather package, I used the geom_path function to plot the path of each tropical storm in the storms data table that occurred in the year 2000. I used an aesthetic mapping to set each storm to a different color by name.

SOLUTION:

tropicalStorms <-
  filter(storms, type == "Tropical Storm", year == 2000)
tropicalStorms %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=long, y=lat)) +
  geom_path(aes(color=name)) +
  labs(x="Longitude Location of Storm Center", y="Latitude Location of Storm Center")
