Hurricane isabel
|
Hurricane Isabel hit us last night. Using xplanet I generated some pseudo-satellite images of what it looked like. |
 |
These images are large. They're not a lot of data (around 300-400K). They're 2048x2048 pixels. We're looking at the whole earth, after all.
|
This picture is later in the afternoon. If you look at the top right corner of the image, there's some information about point-of-view and field-of-view there. |

|
The second image is the view the morning after. The whole thing was pretty over-hyped in our area. Sterling and Loudoun county got off relatively easy compared to North Carolina, Virginia Beach, and even central Virginia. |

|
Five trees fell down in front of houses near our house. This is really the most severe damage we saw. Of course, we didn't have power for 8 hours and we couldn't drink the water for 3 days, but that's still getting off easy. |
