Thanks for the instructions. Very cool feature! Still waiting for them to update the Empire area. The last update they did was before Katrina.

His post was about historical photos not updated photos.
And if you are waiting for updated photos of the empire area you will be waiting for a long time.

Hey bacon.That is a cool feature.
I'll post a sample of real high resolution imagery in a little bit.

Joshuas marina 2 days after Katrina.One is the launch and the other is the levee entrance.

I know what he was saying, I just thought I'd interject a little whining about my favorite area not being updated. It will be cool if I can get a sat pic from when my camp was still there, but that was back in '97. I can't even install google Earth on this school computer. It's a dinosaur. It's 11 years old and still running Windows 98.

Terrible to see Joshua's like that. I'll never forget what it was like going down there in November following the storm. I've seen my dad cry 4 times in my life. The death of a pet, the loss of our camp in Danny, 1997, at the St. Laurent Cemetery on Omaha Beach, and seeing Empire after Katrina. It's the blessings that we get from these places that make their losses seem so unbearable.
