Hurricane Katrina

The NOAA released some new satellite imagery of the hurricane Katrina damage yesterday. Scott Stanfield happened to click on the upper right section of Grand Isle and noticed something disturbing in the image:

Satellite imagery of hurricane Katrina damage, and a plea for help

Sobering.

Here at Vertigo, the company is matching individual donations to the Red Cross. Here's a direct link to the contribution page. If you can't get through to that page, Amazon is also collecting donations on behalf of the Red Cross.

And the eerie thing is, we were just randomly clicking on the newly available satellite maps, trying to find some of the more remote towns on the Gulf. We found this image on the first click.

With all the attention centered on New Orleans, just think of the hundreds of thousands outside the media's focus lacking potable water. Consider you need 1 gallon of water minimum per day to survive; possibly more in high temperatures and humidity. Tragic.
