Isn’t this cool? It’s not every day you can get two full-blown (heh) hurricanes into one photo:
Up top in this photo is Hurricane Danielle. Down low is Hurricane Earl. This satellite photo was taken Sunday morning. You can click here for a larger view, but go to the original source — NASA — for a much larger version as well as a better description of what you’re seeing.
As hurricane season cycles into September, make sure you bookmark sites where you might download satellite imagery of the storms. It beats the heck out of waiting for the AP to move them.
NASA’s hurricane resource page is here. It might not help much today — because Danielle is so far out to sea — but you can get up-to-the-minute high-rez hurricane imagery here, at the the GOES geostationary environmental satellite home page.
Right now — at 7 p.m. EDT Monday — here’s the most recent image of the Atlantic region, the spot in which hurricane watchers would be most interested (again, click for a larger view):
Yeah, that’s Earl creeping in to the lower right. The storm is expected to graduatlly turn to the north, only lightly brushing the Eastern Seaboard. As a resident of said seaboard, I’m hoping the experts are right.
Wanna download a high-rez MP4 video of that same region, over the last two days? Click here.
While we’re at it, here are a couple more bookmarks for you: The National Hurricane Center’s home page and the Weather Underground‘s home page for hurricane and tropical storm info.
