Hurricane Irene: Storify praising City of Philadelphia social media coverage of storm

Add this to the list of reasons that the world has changed.
Hurricane Irene hit the region this past weekend, and the City of Philadelphia had its social media accounts active, particularly on Twitter by way of @Philly311 and @PhillyOEM and the two men on top @Michael_Nutter and @RichNegrin.
“This was the first time, here at least, that we had a hurricane by social media,” Negrin told Technically Philly.
The story might have ended there, but then City of Philadelphia officials went and did a Storify of the praise they received online.
Check it out below.
