Hurricane Isabel: 2003

http://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.
