jeepliberty's Journal: New Orleans Flood Photo from Space

Here is satellite photo of New Orleans taken yesterday by Digital Globe Quickbird. Its easy to see which areas are flooded and which one are dry.

You can gauge the depth by looking at the exit ramps of I10 and I610 and overpasses. (Dialup user: its 3mb).

Unfortunately three houses that I have fond memories of (parents, sister, and brother) show nothing by roof tops.

Stories of looting bring to mind Hollywood movies like "Escape from New York" and "Robocop."

The four hurricanes that hit Florida last year seem trivial to the damage and aftermath of Katrina.
