Time-lapse video of Hurricane Sandy over Manhattan, from the New York Times, 2012.10.29

The New York Times is running a live webcam from the 51st floor of their building in Manhattan as Hurricane Sandy hits the city:

 

Hurricane Sandy: View From Above | Watching the hurricane from the 51st floor of the New York Times building.

 

This video was made by saving the image from this page every minute or so, then saving it as an animation in QuickTime. The storm is still at its peak as I write this on Monday evening, and I'm still downloading the photos once a minute or so. I'll post another version of this after the storm is over, &/or link to the NYT version if they do one of their own.

 

All credit for the photos goes to Matt Ericson & Jon Huang of the New York Times. Thanks to Andrew Phelps for mentioning the webcam this morning. Here's hoping the Times also does something like this with the photo series they've collected today.
