Increasing high tides as Irene approaces southeast
Posted by: petewxwatcher, 00:59 GMT le 21 août 2011 +4

Tide information for US locations is from here.

This bridge disaster really happened. The original Tacoma Narrows bridge opened July 1, 1940 and collapsed November 7, 1940 at 11:10 a.m. The bridge cost $6,400,000 and was the third longest span in the world at that time.No human lives were lost.

Scene from The Hurricane (1937)
Posted by: petewxwatcher, 04:46 GMT le 09 août 2011 +3
A scene from The Hurricane. Director John Ford was given a budget of $400,000 for the setting and special effects. $150,000 to create the Polynesian village, and $250,000 to destroy it. Filmed on 2 1/2 acres behind United Artists main set building. The wind machines and water tanks work very well. Who needs CGI!
