New views from above of Katrina's wrath

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has updated its Website with new satellite imagry of the impact of Hurricane Katrina and the Great New Orleans Flood. By clicking on individual squares, you can see close-up images of areas damaged, and areas that somehow emerged relatively unscathed. You can also see images of bus yards full of buses that could have carried people to safety, rail lines and train stations. If you have a loved one in the impacted area and know where to look, you can see the condition of their home. You can see images starting on this page. You can see image links for New Orleans here.

Also, Google just updated Google Maps with a Katrina Map tab. While not as broad in scope as the NOAA site, you can use the Google Maps' hybrid overlay to find precise locations within the city, then toggle to the Katrina tab to see whether the address is impacted by the flooding.
