s2k member Category 5 on NBC 4 New York during Irene

I saw this posted on FB and in chat and it may be on the forum as well, but even if it is, I thought it deserved another thread as it would get buried in a thread quickly. This is Category5 being interviewed by NBC 4 New York while out in Long Branch, NJ

When I try to play the video, a audio message comes up saying "This content is currently unavailable".

It's not available to non-US residents. I got around it by using a proxy based in the US.

I thought that could have been it but CrazyC83 seems to have viewed it alright and I think he's in Canada as well. Unless he has a proxy or is not in Canada currently I don't see why being in Canada would trigger that.

Didn't view, but based simply on gut reaction.

Hmmmmm they must not consider my province Canadian because I was able to watch/listen to the whole interview.

Well done Category5 it was interesting hearing the difference in wind speeds that were recorded out in the open vs. the tunneling effect of relatively short buildings.

Curiousity makes me ask which of the two young men is Category5?

Crazy maybe they caught the out-of-country interest (ie hits) and realized there was no reason to block it???

Maybe? It needs to be saved in the S2K archives somewhere.
