A follow up to my previous post about 50 photos of New Orleans after the hurricane Katrina’s tragedy. As reported by Yahoo! News, The Associated Press is offering Internet access to a satellite image that covers most of New Orleans, detailed enough that viewers can zoom in to check on particular neighborhoods and streets.

The image’s resolution is high, at 2.4 meters per pixel. It is posted in a format that allows quick viewing of any area a user zooms in on. Users can quickly see what areas are under water and what structures are still standing. When I try it, it’s much much faster than using Google Maps.
