New York City – Hurricane Sandy Time Lapse / Silas Maniatis

This Amazing Time Lapse Video Shows Sandy’s Assault On New York And The Moment The Lights Went Out

A camera on top of 2 Northside Piers shows New York before Sandy rolled in, its destructive approach, and the sudden loss of power as the storm surge flooded lower Manhattan.

This is the best angle and the longest exposure we’ve yet seen of Sandy’s full impact. The video was created by Silas Maniatis.
