"Webcams date to an earlier era of the internet: the very first one,
in 1991, was pointed at a coffee pot in a computer lab at Cambridge

the East Coast of the United States."

Seward and his colleagues have collected an impressive list of live cameras streaming Hurricane Sandy's arrival, and aftermath, from up and down the East Coast.
