Watch Hurricanes through these Web Cams

Web cams along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Storms are tough to watch from a web cam because they are not meant to withstand all that abuse. But pick a camera a couple hundred miles away, and you can see high tides, storm surge, and some fantastic cloud formations.

MODULE ORDER
Section 1:   Live web cams along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
                    Starts in Maine, ends in Texas.
Section 2:   Photos and links to video of Hurricane Ike.
Section 3:   Additional weather watching resources.

    Fire ants huddle together (or did they hunker down?) and float together. It's a good model for getting a bunch of barges down river too.

    Power Outages in Houston Caused by Hurricane Ike

    Local TV Weather Coverage


    KHOU-TV Houston, LIVE Streaming Video from Channel 11
    They were broadcasting live during and after the storm, but it looks like they've stopped. However, they do post news videos frequently and they are very, very good.

    Note:
    1. Every time they say "hunker down" you have to take a sip of whatever you're drinking. I'm working on my third drink.
    2. Any time they say their people are "resilient" you have to take two sips.
    3. And if they say something akin to their "Texas spirit" getting them through this catastrophe, you have to chug it down.
