Tracking Sandy’s Landfall: Your One-Stop Shop
[NOTE: For my latest updates on Hurricane Sandy, follow me on Twitter.]
As I did with Irene and Isaac, I thought it would be helpful to create a “one-stop shop” of live data about Hurricane Sandy, so you can track everything in one place as the storm moves ashore.
For the sake of everyone’s browsers and processors, I’ll split this post up into multiple pages/sections by type of image (tidal gauges, satellite, radar, etc.). But if you think your computer can handle it, you can view everything on one page here.
The pages/sections are:
• Tidal Gauges
• Satellite Maps
• Radar Maps
• Wind, Pressure & Wave Heights
Here’s a quick sampling of the sort of images on those pages/sections of this post:
Tidal Gauge at The Battery, New York, NY:
(NOTE: The main Battery Park tidal gauge display is having on-again, off-again issues. If the above image is blank, try this backup. Remember: the storm surge is the green line, i.e., the red “Observed Height” minus the blue “Predicted Height.”)
Wind & Pressure, Cape May, NJ:
Also, I’m not going to embed them all in this post, but you may want to check out these webcams, as well as this webcam with sound from the torch of the Statue of Liberty.
Anyway… on with the “one-stop shop.” I’ll start with tidal gauges. Again, click here to view everything on one page.








Great job putting this all together. It’s making it very easy to track.
Thanks!

Looks like time to swtich from Springsteen to Delaware Destroyers…
I know that this is a passion of yours. As a long-time resident of the Jersey coast, I am very happy that you are willing to share it with us. It is so much better than other news sources which are available. They mostly just like to trumpet panic. Thank you for aggregating this information and passing it along to us. You have our gratitude.
Thanks Brendan. This is very helpful and I will be checking frequently so long as my power holds out. Unfortunately, that may not be very long as we have already had one off/on incident and lots of subsequent light flickering here in South Kingstown, RI.
Thanks a lot for doing this!!
Thanks for this handy resource! Interesting to track all of the radars and NOAA charts in one spot.
I appreciate your keeping us up to date on Sandy, but, I personally would like it better if you would keep yourself safe & out of danger.
Brendan lives in Denver, CO, so I’m fairly sure he’s safe and out of danger of Sandy.
