thumb_coastguardstormsignal-copy.jpgIt is hard to believe that Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island just a few years ago this week. Many of us were glued to the TV and were monitoring weather reports trying to keep track of where the storm might track.

Nobody could guess just how hard this area would be hit. Nobody expected the storm surges would be so great. Nobody expected lines at the gas station, or to be without power for so long.

To mark the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we will be replaying the NCPD, SCPD, NCFD-East, and SCFD-West feeds in "real time". The feeds will begin at 1200hrs on 10/28/15 and run through 23:30hrs on 10/31/15. The feeds will run in time sequence as they would have been broadcasted a year ago.

The four feeds will be running as follows:
SANDY-NCFD
SANDY-NCPD
SANDY-SCPD
SANDY-SCFD

You will be able to listen to the feeds on your computer by using one of the links on our Live Feed Page, or via the Scanner Radio app on iOS or Android Platforms.

We hope all of those who have been hit hard by this storm have recovered, or are on the path back to recovery.

I know I have been asking for a while, but what do you think the chances are about getting these files uploaded permanently?

I second that idea. I missed the start of this event and not sure if there will be wifi where I will be today. Would love to see stuff like this as a permanent fixture on this site...

That can be done. Right now the audio is in one hour chunks and streams as a large playlist. Each file is about 6 - 7 meg.

I will put it up for a vote,
Should I upload them as they are, 4 separate feeds in 1 hour chunks, or should I consolidate them into 4 feeds and 12 or 24 hour blocks?
