Re: Katrina and Google Earth
I've seen newscasters use google earth on TV. You can see how they have 'my places' with a bunch of spots affected by the hurricane.
So much devastation.

Re: Katrina and Google Earth
God god thats awful
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...
