Storm Hurricane Tracker (NEED HELP ASAP)
#1
I need help with a hurricane tracker program I am working on that I think you guys might be able to help me with!
I can use help via skype if possible or any way you wish!

I have the image posted below, the rubric, and the python code I have for it.. I am confused on where to begin. I am an amateur in python but understand most of the terminology and syntax I just do not understand this project completely and could really use the help as I wish to do good on this project and get a good grade in school. Any help is appreciated.

fp = open_file()
