Satellite imagery
This video shows satellite imagery from June 1st until July 5th of the area of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic where hurricanes commonly form. Intruiging viewing.
That was the coolest thing to watch. At first I tried to watch the entire image, but then couldn't keep up with all the movement, so I just watched the patterns over NC... and watched how the Appalachian mountains deflected much of the bad weather moving east. Then I watched how the islands down below Florida seem to always be in the path of rain and storms. So interesting to watch the storms form and move on. You read about it in school, then see this... are there more like this? thanks for sharing it. bea

Thanks for the insight Guido....this was an awesome video. I watched a few of the others on UTube after this one. Such energy! Such devastation! It looked like it had taken over half the world. I wonder what properties and elements come together to make something this enormous! I think I remember from way back in school, many moons ago, being told it was all to do with heat and water exchange. Quite a bit of the cloud seemed to be coming from Sout America...in the direction of the Amazon? I wonder......? I can see where the interest and excitement comes from chasing storms. Thanks for this Guido....it was certainly food for thought. Jeanie
This is the archive of entries of the Northern Trip blog, formerly hosted on AOL. It was kept from 8 October 2004 until 7 October 2008, after which blogging was resumed on Atlantic Lines.
Woa fascinating to watch! Thanks G. CATHY
