Post-Katrina Images on Google Maps

Posted by Zonk on from the sobering dept.

breadiu writes " Satellite imagery of New Orleans taken on Wednesday, August 31st is now available on Google Maps. Enter 'New Orleans' in the search field at the top of the page, or drag and zoom the map to the area. A red 'Katrina' button will appear at the top right of the map, next to the existing map buttons. Older images for the area are still available too - click the "Satellite" button to switch to those."

    It's a shame that Google AdWords(TM) can't respond to a crisis as fast as George W. I really don't fancy a stay in the Holiday Inn Downtown at the moment, thank you very much...

    I managed to find a picture of Six Flags (a series of large theme parks for you non-USians, second only to Disney's stuff) after it was hit. It looks pretty disturbing to see rides halfway submerged.
    However, the log-ride is still operational, with over 4,000 new circuits you can ride through.

    Great, they will move to California just in time for our next big earthquake. Where do they plan to go after that, Colorado for the blizzards? Another coastal city for the tsunamis?
