I took that pic, compared it with google earth.....And could definitely see the difference. It's insane when you have comparison.

Google Earths web site has the overlays that shows you the before and after. I couldn't believe how much damage was done until I could see the before and after pics. The news really couldn't show how much damage was actually done.

And if you have google earth downloaded, open this:

They have overlays on that of before/after as well that you can zoom in on.

I heard something on the radio this morning about 160,000 (or there abouts) houses being total losses in NO area. That's insane.

The water was tested as being 45,000 times the safe level for a lake or swimming pool. Yet people still don't want to leave.
