Hurricane Isabel: 2003

www.hurricanetrack.com Hurricane Isabel was an enormous hurricane that was a category five for a period of time before weakening and making landfall in eastern North Carolina. The video from Isabel is not that impressive as I was on the west, or weaker, side of the circulation. However, I was still able to capture some interesting effects. The video begins with a several hours long time lapse condensed down to about a minute. You can see the high level outflow cirrus clouds and the lower level inflow moisture-laden clouds at the same time. One of the most spectacular memories of Isabel that I have was the swells that moved in off the Atlantic from the south. You can clearly see the long period swells move in- and a surfer taking advantage of a good thing. The rest of the video has some wind, rain and rough weather but nothing that would even make the evening news. If you want to see what a difference being on the weaker side of a hurricane makes then be sure to visit Jim Edds ' website at extremestorms.com and look for HIS Isabel video. You will clearly see that his location on the Outer Banks near Nags Head made a huge difference in the impacts that were felt.
