Watch Foursquare's Cool Visualization of Superstorm Sandy's Effect on Check-Ins

Superstorm Sandy checked into New York City early last week and it looks like she became the Mayor of lower Manhattan. Following up on Foursquare's visualization of the site's activity before and after the storm, the team has created a video time lapse to show how the weather affected check-ins.

Superstorm Sandy checked into New York City early last week and it looks like she became the Mayor of lower Manhattan. Following up on Foursquare’s visualization of the site’s activity before and after the storm, the team has created a video time lapse to show how the weather affected check-ins.

To show the contrast between normal conditions and hurricane conditions, the video begins the Saturday morning before the storm hit and ends when the power had (mostly) returned to lower Manhattan early this morning.
