SNOW STORM 12 - 29 -12


The lightning blog was live, on the ground and drove into the heart of the snow storm on 12 - 29 -12.
We began in Brooklyn NY where we were at the edge of the storm and saw rain and some light snow.
We drove up 95 into the heart of the storm, almost white out conditions, visibility was 10' at the worst parts of the storm  Please know Naomi was recording from the passenger seat and I [the driver] had both hands on the wheel at all times.

Hurricane Sandy -- Sound Recordings and Images [ by Alan Sondheim ]

some audio files - sounds from inside our place from
the skylights; playing nepalese sarangi and sarangi
with the sounds; police radio - note the stranded
cars with water rising, fires, etc.; a few shots from
our excursion out with Gary Wiebke holding the piece
of wallboard that almost killed me, and a tree around
the corner which has split and killed a smaller ginko
next to it as well. The buoy videos fascinate me,
taken from a Brooklyn waterfront pier yesterday as
the storm approached.
