Description:

Collection of data related to Hurricane Katrina which struck the southeast US in August, 2005. Starting off with the following data set.

  • SuperOverlay (0.75 meters/pixel) of the downtown New Orleans area from aerial photographs taken a couple weeks after Katrina struck the city. This overlay is a mosaic of images captured over a period of a couple weeks. They were not all taken on the same date. Created by Google Earth Library from NOAA images.
  • Various images from MODIS Satellite which show Hurricane Katrina.
  • **UPDATED 12/17** - Added unofficial Flood Risk Maps of New Orleans area from the Army Corp of Engineers.
  • **UPDATED 12/20** - Added overlays of several 1,000 post-Hurricane Katrina images collected by NOAA and the Global Connection Project
  • **UPDATED 12/20** - A collection of data submitted by users of the Google Earth BBS.  This was compiled by Google shortly after the hurricane and contains a wide variety of information.

I will try to add more data to this collection in the future.
