Hurricane Irene in NYC - Time lapse of the skies Before and After the Storm

I wanted to see if I could catch the violent skies of Hurricane Irene. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anything substantial. I was able to get the skies before the hurricane on August 27, where the sky was mostly flat. The rain came in overnight and stayed until the early morning but it was too dark and rain covered the window to get anything great. The storm didn't last long and by Sunday Morning, it was gone. The winds have calmed down and damage in my area is almost non-existent.

I know Hurricane Irene has left a path of destruction on its way up the east coast, but damage in this area isn't much. I slept last night with the windows open (not the window my camera was pointing out of) and barely any water came in through the window. Seems like this area was one of the lucky places in New York City. No downed trees, no flooding, no damages to buildings or cars.

Feel free to post if you've gone through Hurricane Irene in NYC or any where else along its path.

Cool time lapse, I'm jealous of your view. I also created a time lapse in hopes to catch some violent cloud formations. However it appears to be mostly white skies with some grey clouds. My area was mostly heavy rains with strong winds. No trees are down and i had power the whole time. I cant say that for a lot of other places. A lot of people are saying this wasn't anything but that's not true, it all depends on where you are. Some areas had it worse then others.

@sm3287 I actually found a downed tree 2 blocks from here. But it wasn't the actual hurricane that did it, it was the wind that blew all evening today.

i cant speak for everyone in nyc, but it wasn't too bad here in queens, it was just very windy. The news media made it out to be that end of the world was coming >.>

@LordOfKnights00 Yeah, actually had people in my area who evacuated even though it wasn't mandatory for my area.

Irene was still bad for a lot of other parts, but Irene is just another reason why I still don't trust a weatherman to tell me what my weather will be like.

The exact opposite happend to me. I live in Pennsylvania and lost power for three days. I counted at least 6 trees down in my neighborhood. A huge limb landed on my neighbors car and broke the back windows. A house on my block had a peice of siding dangling in the air almost touching the ground. All of the school districts except for one closed monday.
