These Weather Channel Graphics Show How Terrifying Hurricane Florence Could Turn Into

The Weather Channel has been using mixed reality to great effect with its reporting on Hurricane Florence, showing how the water may rise and swallow buildings and cars in its path.

“We can show you what this could look like if you were to find yourself in this scenario,” meteorologist Erika Navarro says. The map behind her disappears, and thanks to wonders of mixed reality, we can actually see the wind raging and the water rising on a street, complete with cars, trees, and buildings in the background.
