UPDATE BY:Jim Williams.....I have completed the update to the city database and the city rankings to include the 2009 hurricane season. Grand Cayman still remains at #1 getting affected every 2.17 years. The biggest gainer was Cabo Corrientes,Cuba (west tip) moving up 7 positions to #12. Port Au Prince has was affected by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on the 12th. We continue to feature Port Au Prince ,Haiti where you can search for information from the affected areas. There are no webcams from the affected areas and even if there was the power will be out for quite some time. The radio links are working & a couple of stations are streaming live audio but it is in Creole language. Our recommended choice for contributing to relief efforts in Haiti is Food for the poor. This organization has had roots in Haiti for many years & knows how to get supplies into the affected areas. The NWS in Miami has also set up a weather page Southern Region Haitian Disaster Support for the latest weather conditions. The 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season ended November 30th . I had my annual end of season broadcast on Dec 2nd as I went over what happened this season with lots of graphics and stats.
 I had my annual end of hurricane season broadcast on Dec 2nd as I went over what happened this season with lots of graphics and stats. Bill Phillips was streaming media content on Ida from his area in VA bch on hurricane TV from the 11th through the 13th and recorded the event. In this video (9m30sec) subscribers will see local news at the worst conditions over the three day period. Dramatic emergency scanner audio was recorded along with webcams from Virginia beach. On the November 1st weather and the media show I had forecaster Joe Bastardi from accuweather on to discuss the slow 2009 hurricane season. watch it here(2hr:12min) I had Jim Leonard and Derek Sibley on hurricane TV on Saturday night Aug 1st ,2009 as we discussed the tropics. Derek Sibley lives here in south Florida and is a big fan of hurricane tracking. Storm chaser Jim Leonard and I have talked by phone to Derek but have never met in person. I felt this would be a good opportunity to have them here in person to do the August 1st show. We had quite a few callers and emails during the show and despite some technical difficulties the show was a success. The archive is 95min long.
