I don't mean to make light of anything, but as I look at this I'm getting an errie sense of "god game gone bad". Maybe I spend too much time playing computer games, I don't know.

Incredible.

Get the canoe!

Extreme urban rowboating?

how did you get that updated satellite picture?

So what's the large building next to the Superdome, with the same kind of cover, that didn't lose any of its roof? It looks like covered walkways from the Superdome to there.

that's the new orleans arena- it's pretty new- the hornets play (or used to play) there. it's also incredibly ugly- definitely not the same kind of roof- i think the superdome had a white foamish material on it... the arena has a much more metallic roof. and the walkways aren't covered, just cement bridge-paths.

If you go to the Google Earth site (http://maps.google.com) and type "New Orleans" into the search function, a new button appears in the upper-right corner called "Katrina" (labelled in red). It basically switches to an "after" satellite view. You can peruse the entire area for damage.

 

I thought the new arena had a fabric roof like the Georgia Dome? Maybe not.

Maybe I spend too much time playing computer games, I don't know.

Heh, I knew that looked familiar!
