Who To Follow On Twitter For The Best, Latest Hurricane Irene Coverage

Trying to follow coverage of Hurricane Irene? Wonder what hurricanes are like for people who’ve never experienced ’em before? Then consider following The New York Times‘ Brian Stelter — media guy-turned-storm chaser (for the time being) — as he livetweets the hurricane, along with pictures and video footage.

Stelter is currently in North Carolina, reporting on both his personal experience with the hurricane in vivid detail (winds were so high, for instance, that it ripped his poncho into several pieces) and on the damage the hurricane has caused so far (i.e. flickering power, sliding peeling away from buildings near the beach, and shingles being torn from rooftops by high winds.)

Also advised: Unfollow all comedians.
