Hello, WeatherBrains fans, this is the Sandy edition of the Fog Bank. You can send me your choices for the Fog Bank picks here or on Twitter @skydaver.

First, a couple of links unrelated to the hurricane.

Mike Moss posted an interview that he did with Scott Thoma, author of "Out of the Blue", about the Tracy, Minnesota F5 tornado in 1968

Earth Observatory and NASA Visualizations had rapid scan images of Sandy, from GOES-14. What I find interesting about these videos is that the clouds seem to be streaming opposite the rotation at the far western side of the images.
