New Orleans Before and After from Space (Actual Title: Hurricane Season 2005: Katrina)
NASA ^ | 9/14/05 | NASA

Posted on 09/15/2005 5:16:13 AM PDT by kidd

Seventeen days after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans, much of the city is still under water. In this pair of images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer on NASA's Terra satellite, the affected areas can clearly be seen. The top image mosaic was acquired in April and September 2000, and the bottom image was acquired September 13, 2005.

The flooded parts of the city appear dark blue, such as the golf course in the northeast corner, where there is standing water. Areas that have dried out appear light blue gray, such as the city park in the left middle. On the left side of the image, the failed 17th street canal marks a sharp boundary between flooded city to the east, and dry land to the west. The images cover an area of 10.4 x 7.1 km and are centered near 30 degrees north, 90.1 degrees west.

Boy! The greens on those two golf courses are going to be a bear to putt on for a bit!

If they got that nasty toxic water on them, they'll be lucky to ever grow anything again. Every green and fairway will probably have to be re-sanded and topsoiled to ever grow grass.

...whether it be tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes. etc... so better have a back up plan...and another... and perhaps those really danger prone areas are better kept as wilderness...

Throw in lightening and we would have to abandon the earth.
