I have always loved weather. When I was little, my friend Madeleine and I would make weather journals and have lots of fun essentially making reports on the current weather. Wind and thunder storms were our favorite, especially the kind that brought everyone together to talk about what was happening. So, naturally, whenever a natural disaster/weather event happens, like a hurricane, I become a news hound. So I decided to compile some images, video, and tweets for you in this post. It's not too long.
Satellite Imagery
This storm is HUGE. It's crazy to look at in images from outer space. It's just crazy huge.
Here's a video from the space station when they passed the storm. oh my.
Images from the ground
The images from the ground of how people were reacting, rather than pictures of rough surf, were really interesting to me (probably because I'm such a humanist).
Look at all these empty places:
a ferry port in jersey
Grand Central Station
And there are no cars in times square…
Something people do during hurricanes, apparently, is tape up their windows.
It's actually useless.
Tweets
Most of these are funny. Gonna be honest.
I like this guy. The video is even better.
Since we're talking about jersey, two more:
I'll post more as more happens.
