I have been watching the reports from the National Hurricane Center, and it's truly astounding how fast this storm intensified. Explodes is exactly the perfect word.

Citing records going back to 1851, the Washington Postreported Sunday that there "is no precedent for a storm to intensify this quickly, nor reach this strength, in this part of the ocean during the month of June.

Is there any kind of feed anywhere to be found that just shows a satellite video of how it grew without some newscaster blathering on about it, then showing me waves on a beach and stoking fear? Yeah, I know all about that. Shut up. All I want is to watch a storm build from beginning to end in sweet, sweet silence. Maybe throw some data in there; like wind speed, pressure, historical track projections, etc.

I think I may have found one.
