Another site for aerial photos of Hurricane Katrina damage

http://ngs.woc.noaa.gov/katrina/

The imagery posted on this site is of the Gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama after Hurricane Katrina made landfall.This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response requirements. Please note that these images are uncorrected and not rotated. The approximate ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 37 cm (1.2 feet). The images have 60% forward overlap, and sidelap unknown. Image file size is between 2 MB and 3 MB.

Also, LPB (Louisiana Public Broadcasting) seems to be broadcasting news from WWL out of New Orleans (they're actually broadcasting out of Baton Rouge)--at least they have been this morning. If you're curious about how areas of New Orleans are faring, this station's broadcasts have been very informative because the newscasters are familiar with the city and its citizens. The special reports have been very effective and they've presented a lot of good information.

Maybe someday soon I'll post about something other than Hurricane Katrina, but this is what's on my heart and mind and I want to post things that can be useful to my friends who've been displaced. I will say that as I've watched WWL's coverage this morning, I'm beginning to have a little more hope. All is NOT lost and the violence and destruction of a few are NOT the sentiments of the many. They've shown several reports on the New Orleans PD and those that have stayed in the city (1/3 of the NOPD deserted) have shown such courage and dedication. THEY have been there from the get-go and they continue to go on, with nothing left to give.
