"Glad I Wasn't There!"

To kick off our series, “Glad I Wasn’t There!”, I offer you the following photo, taken of our recent hurricane friend, Isabel (click for a larger image):




(Thanks Eric!)


Update: Or not — This is apparently a picture of Graham, a tropical storm, not Isabel. Wah! Posted by pmk at September 19, 2003 2:26 PM | TrackBack

oopsie. in my rush to feed patrick stuff that he wouldn’t respond with “old, so old” to, I appear to have sent over a hoax — or at least an image that’s not of Isabel:

‘This image began circulating via email on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2003 as Hurricane Isabel bore down on the eastern seaboard of the United States. It seems to have been intentionally mislabeled. According to a Web page of the National Weather Service, the photo, credited to Steve Todd, actually documents a tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean six months earlier named “Graham.”’
