Hurricane Satellite Images

Recommended Posts

Digital Globe has some crazy satellite pictures taken after the

hurricane. This one is from New Orleans taken yesterday.. I didn't

really get what was going on in the image until i realized that the

lighter gray portion of the city in the bottom right hand corner was

what it's supposed to look like. Meanwhile every dark alley is basically

water. If you zoom out and see the whole pic you can see the gradation

of flooding from top left to bottom right... And if you zoom in, you can

actually see where highways/overpasses dip under the flooding and come

back out. Kind of insane..

the homepage:
