The Impact of Hurricane Isabel Shown Through LiDAR

whitefox writes "The folks at NASA, USGS, & NOAA flew flights gathering elevation data (including building tops) along the Outer Banks before and after Hurricane Isabel as part of the Eastern Coastal & Watershed Studies on hurricane and severe storm impacts. The preliminary results have been put out on a temporary website. I certainly don't make light of the suffering many people went through, including my own relatives, but I'm utterly awed by these pictures."
