Cool Website with FREE download
« on: September 13, 2005, 12:45:44 pm »
My friend Randy, (Shermans Mom), turned me on to this.
www.earth.goog le.com
There is a free download on the homepage that will enable you to go anywhere in the world.
I looked at the house I grew up in, the various places I've lived, and favorite places I've played.
It is so COOL!!!
Check it out!

Do me a favor and look at 4646 Painters St. in New Orleans and tell me if it looks OK post-Katrina. That's my sister's house and we haven't been able to determine if it's OK or not and we can't get back in there yet. I can't download that program at work.

I found me, my work, my new work, my old house, and any other point of interest i could think of.  I don't think the pictures are recent, are they?
Thanks,

Sorry, Jeanne.
The satelite images are not in 'real time'.
It is a compilation of images taken over a long period of time.
You could probably find what you want on the NOAA webpage,
or Google, New Orleans Today, there may be something there that will help you.

Try maps.google.co m. Click the satelite version. It's not real time, but you can find anything. You can even look at the moon. Zoom in on it. It's cool!

This is the closest I could get of it. All you have to do is type in the address and it brings it up. Its not a close view but its a view of after Katrine...let me know if it works

I'm not familiar enough with her neighborhood to pick out her street, but it's certainly cool. I'll try NOAA... Thanks for trying.
