[lizzieloo]

Camera has just zoomed in! Phil could've had a close up!!!

You zoom it in yourself

There's not many cabs about.

 

[lizzieloo]

Chaser cam people have got a bit stuck and sound proper freaked out

 

[Greebo]

Not bad.

 

[Fez909]

nah, this was a proper zoom. like the camera operator had done it.

 

[lizzieloo]

nah, this was a proper zoom. like the camera operator had done it.

Yeah, that's what I thought till I noticed the little thingy in the corner

Yeah mine zoomed and I was nowhere near controls,same time as you posted.

 

[Fez909]

Yeah, that's what I thought till I noticed the little thingy in the corner

If you zoom with the thing in the corner, it doesn't really zoom. It just makes that section bigger. This was a proper zoom with the guy in the red in focus, really clear. At least, that's what I think happened. Did no one else notice that?

edit: peter has confirmed.

I saw that, the control room must have received a message about some nutter doing star jumps

3 hours until the worst hits Mr Dwyer. I suggest a long stroll down Broadway to Battery Park. Take a camera.

"There's a crazy welshman doing star jumps in his tshirt claiming this isn't a proper storm (not vile-ent enough). Can we get rid of him?"

 

[phildwyer]

There's not many cabs about.

There's not much rain about either.

Honestly, this is a mild Sunday in June to anyone from South Wales.

 

[lizzieloo]

The guy on the storm chaser feed is saying this is the worst storm ever in the US, "Worse that Katrina...............etc"



In a shaky voice.... "this is just terrible for New York City, our worst fears have been realised"

all cabs parked up sunday night.

Bollocks. Can't you see you've been fooled?

The TV and that always exagerrate the weatherso people will carry on watching. Don't be fooled by their tricks.

Have to agree that it's looking a bit Ponty-in-summer at the moment.

It's usually well busy around Times Square. Even on a Sunday.

 

[phildwyer]

all cabs parked up sunday night.

No they didn't. There's quite a few cabs around. Not as many as usual, but no shortage. Plenty of people wandering around too. Just nothing to do!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I reckon London weather a couple of days ago was worse than it looks in Times Square

 

[Fez909]

I was convinced this was a wind up by phil, but he has been in his tshirt twice and it doesn't look bad at all on the cam, as far as you can tell these things. Soooo....

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yeah, there's other cams. Maybe you can go and sit on that bull?

 

[peterkro]

If you watch the cam there's a few going past Macdonalds,won't be cheap I imagine.

 

[lizzieloo]

You'd think it was the end of the world if all you knew was what the storm chaser peeps were saying.

I'm wise to their tricks. Loads of Photoshopped stuff all over the net already, and it does seem a convenient story to put World media attention on the US once again.

On the other hand a large swell is rightfully expected around midnight your time. If flooding does hit the metro downtown it will cause all sorts of shit.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Can you go and stand here next please Phil?
