Follow the path of Hurricane Irene and stay posted on conditions along the East Coast by accessing weather and lightning data from WeatherBug’s proprietary network of Weather Stations. Live images from hundreds of cameras, including ones in Miami, Clearwater Beach, and Jacksonville, Fla., Ocean City, Md., and Margate City, N.J., are featured on the WeatherBug website.
Steve Romalewski has his Spatiality blog providing updates on mapping efforts in New york – see this post. This includes details of the efforts the State has gone to recently in the following areas: mapping evacuation centers, mapping impact zones, storm surge / slosh maps
