Google Maps does Katrina
Google has added a new overlay option to their Google Maps for the New Orleans area that displays satellite photos of the devastation Hurricane Katrina caused. The color balance is not off, the bluish tint is due to the entire city being covered by water. The best place to see before/after is the Superdome, located towards the south of the city; you can see that the white tarp from the regular satellite image is gone in the Katrina pictures. Props to Google for offering this functionality and getting this data up so soon.
