I posted this late last night in the Science forum here at DU.

I don't want to repeat all of what I posted so here's the link to the thread: <http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=228x12169>

If you have more questions about how to view these pictures just ask,

Peace

1. Here's both pics .......

Wish the clouds weren't in the bottom picture. But the lake is telling. Is that a large 'breach' in the bottom of the big lake (the buldge at the bottom of it)? And it seems to have breached to the smaller lake to the left of it? Thanks for these pics. Peace.

2. NOTE to All, the pictures posted here are the 1 Km resolution pictures

The NASA sight also has 500 meter and 250 Meter resolution photos too. Plus their is the FSI viewer , if you have a slow connection.

I'm thinking the small bulge at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain might be a wetland area (swamp) that just gained a lot of water due to storm surge, most likely, it will recede soon.

The flooding between Lake Ponchartrain and Lake Maurepas (on the left) is very shocking. That little sliver of land going through that flood, is I-55. I'm not sure if it's flooded or not.

Another area that is a bit scary is North and West of Pascagoula Mississippi. Looks like the Pascagoula River Valley is flooded too.
