Feat: I actually pulled an all-nighter on this one... Started at 19h02 right after the Sabbath ended and worked almost non-stop till 07h12 which is when I'm uploading this now... that's 12 hours straight!
Good thing I did sleep a lot through the Sabbath day... but I do feel like my eyes need to close for a few hours... already feeling quite uncomfortable... I guess the hardest part in the making of this video was to cut 30mins of footage down to only 6 because the music I had chosen only lasted that long... but I ended up fiddling with the music and extending it to 11+mins... And btw if you're wondering, it's "Still" by Hillsong, I thought it was most appropriate because of the wordings of the song...
Another copyrighted material I should point out in this video is the satellite animation at the beginning... I got this from www.Cyclones.fr... I searched the site for a "contact me" link or an email, but couldn't find any...
Now Cyclone Bejisa: We didn't feel much of it here in Mauritius... I must say that it was quite mild as experienced here... but that is because it didn't come very close... and I'm sure Mauritians are thankful for that... I have experienced big cyclones when I was younger, the most notable of them being "Hollanda"... which wreaked quite a bit of a havoc in several places of the island...
The information on Mekong River is from www.marinetraffic.com... There's the option to upload a photo of the ship, which I'm planning to do soon :D
I wonder what the Hazard A material is in our case... petroleum, may be? Good thing those ships are built to withstand those storms...
The last footage shows what looks like a tornado formation which is reabsorbed by the mother cloud... I actually filmed two such tornado formations two weeks ago, but they weren't completely formed so I didn't care to post... but this one here doesn't look too bad... does it?
Oh btw, who noticed the motorcycle plate? "2014 Y"? I guess the dude must be quite happy this year :D
Enjoy the vid ;-)

11h28 Edit: Woke up at 11h09 - t'was an 'excited' sleep like my conscious mind wouldn't let go and kept waiting till the vid got uploaded... So i finally got up after some 4 hours ... and first thing i did was re-watched the video - and it hits me: The title should have been Bejisa 2ND January 2014... but here it lies in plain sight: 1st January 2014... ARRRGH...this means Re-encoding... TWICE - (40 mins) + re-uploading (4h+) ... and the upload just completed right now...
I think i'm just gonna let go... cause the mistake occured cause the first image (on which the date appears) probably really is from the 1st of January... hence the mix up... i guess that's what happens when you pull an all-nighter... And it's not all that bad cause the cyclone was really here on both the 1st and 2nd January - we were Class2 on both days... Except that the videos were taken on the 2nd of Jan...
But Anyway, I'm not wasting 5h... I'm just sharing the link...
Cheers,
Reuben
