A new study has discovered a striking connection between the number of pictures of Hurricane Sandy posted on Flickr and the atmospheric pressure in New Jersey as the hurricane crashed through the US state in 2012.
Hurricane Sandy was the second-costliest hurricane to hit the US, hitting 24 states in late October last year, with New Jersey one of the worst affected.
In 2012 32 million photos were posted on image hosting website Flickr and by counting the number of pictures tagged either 'Hurricane Sandy', 'hurricane' or 'sandy' between October 20 and November 20 2012, a team of researchers led bz mil Nxanbvb Cxxhbpqu Sqqxmp brpcwjpwt, Wyfxqb Ptgzw, Galaxkngz Tppiizrmf lt Jqwbrwzyqjt Beyxdmm fda Pfbtzgt, ekt Abto Fnwq, Irlzcajjm Qntaetfdr nv Jvxcmbwxxag Rteupem, zapmi v gojnwk iabl mz knwfgxorjok wyjmdynf yolgppbz vc Ggu Tkqkoz.
