Fogbank for September 5, 2011

Hello WeatherBrains Listeners, this is the Fogbank, listener supplied picks of the week, keeping Weatherbrains foghorn free for JB.

I'm Dave Phillips, from Winston Salem, NC, skydaver on twitter. Send me your picks for the Fogbank.

You can find all my picks, and a link for this audio, at my blog, skydaver.blogspot.com


We will start off this week with a Hurricane Irene Mashup on YouTube
Someone has too much time on their hands … but it's darn funny!

My second pick is a comic discussing the weather

Third, I've got Clouds, as photographed from 25000 feet. The airplane has its door open, so the view is spectacular.
 I've got the link from both petapixel.com, and the photographer's site.

James Payton, at Univ. of Alabama Hunstville, has a blog posting responding to the story "do we need the NWS".  His answer, YES!
