Pics of Isabel from Space and Sea

Postby Cherokee_6 » Fri Sep 19, 2003 12:05 pm

Not sure where these should belong but they are very interesting...

This is the hurricane ISABEL viewed from the space station, and from the Sea.

We don't see photos like these very often.

Is there a way I can create these kinds of images in FS?

I am unable to download realtime weather, because my FS computer is a standalone, so I have no way to put the weather in.

The object here would be to take the SR-71 up and take some shots from about 75,000 ft.

Amazing photos. I can't believe the size of that thing. My thoughts are with everyone in its path. Please take care.

Hi Cherokee... ;D...!
Thanks for the photos...
The first one looks like my saucepan of porrige bubbling on my gas stove, but MUCH more dangerous.... :o...!
As this is such a serious storm, perhaps we can have a few more photos of it from various States as it progresses Northwards...?

Cheers all...!

I love how every once in a while, Fozzer will pop up with a food anecdote.  That's great.  lol

Not sure where these should belong but they are very interesting...


I know where the first one is going.  DESKTOP!
Great edit, Bob.

The one from the ship is, in fact, a fake.  The coud types contradict each other and a hurricane has clouds as far as the eyes can see.  ;)

Not if you're at the very edge.  Stands to reason, there has to be an edge.  A place where the clouds end . . .

Why would a ship intentionally drive itself into a hurricane in the first place?  Of course they're going to sit off the edge of it, maybe try to get back to port before it hits.  Or maybe the hurricane was on its way in.

The only real way to know is to find out where they came from.

Where did you get those, Cherokee?
