Here is a link from a dude broadcasting live from the eye of the hurricane. He is in a truck chasing the storm...the best part, he is a total surfer dude and sounds just like Jeff Spicolli...I have not laughed this hard in a long time.

Is he on break or something? I'm just seeing a video of the beach and listening to noaa wx...

He fell asleep, you can hear him snoring...dude has been non-stop for two days.

When he wakes up you have to listen, too freaking funny.

I can hear him, but its not streaming very well. Is that just me?

His video stream got choppy a little while ago, it was crystal clear. Maybe he will move and get a better signal.

What an freaking idiot. Oh, well - survival of the fittest.

Speaking of which,here is a Fox News video with a phone call to an AF Hurricane Hunter (C-130J). Note the orientation of the air intakes of the engines at :22 sec into the video. They must be pulling a Maverick maneuver and flying inverted. Or, more likely, they show video of a P-3 while talking to a Hurricane Hunter C-130 guy.

Never talk to the media - even if you are a Hurricane Hunter.

Edit: spelling

This. Is. AWESOME. Best quotes, "I hope nothing heavy comes and breaks my window. I don't want the hurricane in the car." and "I just saw a wall of fear and terror to my right."

Did he stop streaming? Also, why do ads have to interrupt ten seconds of video? This guy needs to move to JustinTV.

He keeps losing his connection and the ads start everytime he starts a new session.

I bet I am going to get more information out of this guy than I will the professional weather guys.

Is our bro dead? Maybe he decided to battle some of those "HUMONGOUS WAVES!"

This is pretty amusing too. Video at link at the bottom.

MYFOXNY.COM - A local news reporter from Washington, D.C. ended up getting covered in what is probably the remnants of raw sewage as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md.

WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him.

Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland

He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm.

"It doesn't taste great," he said.

In a related story, some members of the NJARNG decided to take on a flooded route....didn't work. :bash:

Who would have thought driving through a street with water level to the top of your truck would be a bad idea?

Not as entertaining as the hillbilly that covered the hurricane, but here are some cool pictures:
