The Coast Guard is responding to a distressed vessel with 17 people aboard approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras N.C.

Crews received a call from the owner of the 180-foot, three mast tall ship, HMS Bounty, saying she had lost communication with the vessel’s crew late Sunday evening. An air crew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City launched aboard an HC-130 Hercules aircraft, which later arrived on scene and reestablished communications with the Bounty’s crew. The vessel is reportedly taking on water and is without propulsion. The Coast Guard is continuing to monitor the Bounty’s situation.

The vessel is about 160 miles west of the eye of hurricane Sandy.

wow! this is a great one to watch - thank you. Although if that is bolted on to a house, I sincerely hope the occupants have evacuated

It says where it is a point on New Jersey. Must be a windy spot at the best of times. It's zooming in and out so being controlled that could be remotely though.

HMS bounty has been abandoned. Everyone is safe apparently

Sorry I didn't know anything had been posted about it!

I hope people have listened to the evac orders in the states.

I'm glad everyone on the Bounty is safe but they shouldn't have been there in the first place. It's not as if they didn't have plenty of warning.

1 min loop here of Sandy (IE an image every one minute, rapidscan)

I'm hearing people are already losing power, around 3,000 people already have lost power. Going to be a long day for many people up in the NE states.

Sandy has sped up now moving at 20mph and has made a slight turn to WNW. Sandy could also strengthen further to 90mph.

http://www.myfoxny.com/category/233393/watch-good-day-live is providing excellent coverage.

[kold weather]

Best track now upto 80kts, so there is a fair chance that the next advisory will show 80kts as an intial strength.

[lorenzo]

So it is, glad you are so observant ! Should have wrote latest beeb vids...

Some other images from Twitter, a moody shot of New York, Sandy at 945mb at landfall..

and just an insane person with a flag and a rifle, because these are useful to have in a Hurricane.
