Boing Boing: Using Google Earth to process Katrina flood damage data

I'll post something more substantive later, but I wanted to put this out before it got pushed off boingboing's frontpage. If you haven't seen Google Earth, it's a really cool free download with zooming arial shots of the earth. It's open source, so people can add to it. So, get Google Earth, then download these flood damage overlays. It works very smoothly. Some overlays are better done than others. Use the places sidebar to turn the overlays on and off to be able to see before and after things. So far, no overlays for the Marigny/Bywater areas where most of our friends live.
