Hurricane Irene is coming. It’s gotten lots of coverage, and by the time it reaches my area it’s expected to be a Category 2, transitioning to a Category 1. While Annapolis isn’t on the direct path for the storm, we’re close enough that they’re projecting up to a foot of rain and a storm surge up to 4 feet high, which has the potential to do a lot of damage. It also has the potential to produce some really interesting imagery.
I’ll admit it: I’m kind of a weather geek. The last time I encountered a named storm, I was taking pictures and videos of stuff that wasn’t even that exciting. I was stuck on watch, and it was the best I could do in weather that was barely a tropical storm by the time it reached me. This time it’s likely to be different.
So, I’ll be posting pictures, videos, etc. throughout the storm. Some of it could be awesome, and some might only be awesome to me, but I’ll at least have fun doing it. Check back periodically for updates.
I’ll also be live streaming during portions of the storm, which you can watch at my live page. I’ll post on Facebook and Twitter when I’m going to be turning on the stream.
