7 hour time lapse of Hurricane Irene waves at Rockaway Beach (August 28, 2011)

Sped up 6x. Data collected from Surfline.com's premium members cam. Time lapse is from 11 AM to 8 PM.

There's a couple of glitches when the video collection process froze.

My workflow, in case you're curious was:
1. Use Fraps to grab the video from Surfline [approximately 350 gigabytes of video] at 5 FPS
2. Use FFMPEG to crop and encode the raw fraps video in x264 into 69 separate AVI files totaling ~3.2 gigabytes
3. Use Mencoder to concatenate the 69 avi files into a single file
4. Use avifrate to increase the frame rate from 5 FPS to 30 FPS
