If you want to see what a hurricane looks like as it bears down on a highly populated area, here’s the view from the New York Times office in New York:
There is a webcam set up there which will refresh every 60 seconds as the storm comes in. Might an interesting spectacle when the storm makes landfall, and a fairly frightening movie when the images are compiled! Of course, this is a dangerous storm, and I wish all the residents of New York and other affected areas the best of luck. Be prepared and be safe!
