[-empyre-] Hurricane Sandy

[Alan Sondheim]

Everyone I know is documenting the storm and putting it up online. The 
reality as such is troubling; listening to the police radio gives an idea 
of the degree people are in trouble. At the moment the situatio is more 
severe, small explosions, more fires, flooding everywhere. So far we're 
okay but the roaring inside our place is almost 80 db consistently. Is 
this the Singularity come early?

Hurricane Sandy

some audio files - sounds from inside our place from the skylights; 
playing nepalese sarangi and sarangi with the sounds; police radio - note 
the stranded cars with water rising, fires, etc.; a few shots from our 
excursion out with Gary Wiebke holding the piece of wallboard that almost 
killed me, and a tree around the corner which has split and killed a 
smaller ginko next to it as well. The buoy videos fascinate me, taken from 
a Brooklyn waterfront pier yesterday as the storm approached.
