Remote Sensing presents Hurricane Season 2011

Here's a cool video of this year's Hurricane Season which includes Hurricane Irene, which impacted the Eastern United States and Tropical Storm Lee that flooded most of the Eastern United States just after Irene.  This video shows how far we have come in remote sensing, a section of geography.  We are able to observe and record images from above so easily now, we've come a long way from sending hot air balloons up with cameras.  Geography is also apart of recognizing what you are watching in the video, your exposure to maps have provided you with knowledge of what North America looks like, allowing you to orient yourself when viewing this video.  Finally weather and its impact on location is apart of geography, yes Atmospheric sciences and meteorology have they're own disciplines now but geography is still a huge aspect, not to mention the mother of weather disciplines.
