Icono Clast a =E9crit : Inter-active satellite map of New Orleans; street map; map defining flooded parts: http://makeashorterlink.com/?P39C128BB The satellite image on the left at the URL below shows New Orleans as it meets Lake Pontchartrain after Hurricane Katrina . . . The satellite image on the right shows how it was on March 9, 2004: So if the top of the photo is the north, it seems that the northen part of the central city between the 2 "main canals" joining the lake and the river and north east of this as well is floaded but not the old district (on a gentle hill ?) or the district with the towers and the superdome just south west of this last part. Nevertheless I can't see very well if the streets at the south west of the city are black and thus floaded. On CNN they showed this image saying that they were preserved as well. Where exactly is the breach in the dyke ? Is it near the "western canal" whose left side is so clearly dry on the photo. East of the old distric not far from the river I can see some water with white foam falling... in the "eastern canal" from several points, not the contrary...! What is it ? Is it coming from the lake ? Personnaly since I heard that 80 % of the inhabitants had been evacuated I was amased to hear on TV that a US polician said that there could be 1000ds of victims. I feared for disabled people at ground floor and I don't know if the floading occurred during the night, but I didn't believe it since IMO a floading coming from a single (?) breach has probably been progressive except very near the breach. I've been reassured when I heard that the casualities will be much less numerous. P=2ES. for Go Fig. As Earl reminded, the 1999 storm in France was unprecedented since 350 years and I never noticed other satellite meteo images than european ones on TV, which of course is not the case in the US or elsewhere. didier Meurgues http://tinyurl.com/7a8u3 __________________________________________________ _________________ A San Franciscan whose reverence for each god is equal. http://geocities.com/dancefest/ - http://geocities.com/iconoc/ ICQ: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 --- IClast at SFbay Net |

This map does a better job at showing those: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/hur...llpage.nola.fl ood/katrina.html One of the breaks was @three blocks long.The oldest part of the city, closest to the Mississippi, is the highest ground. CNN has another graphic that I can't find right now, which shows the city's elevation -- the closer to the lake, the lower the elevation. Sarah |
