Before and After

Katrina Before and After Page

Here are before and after satellite images of Katrina's damage around New Orleans. Note the dates below each picture.

The picture below is an animated gif file. After the "Before" picture you will see some pink highlights. Find one and stare at it as it changes. The flooding is only part of the story. Note how the land between Lake Ponchartrain and Lake Maurpas to the left as grown much smaller. Also, the Bonne Carre Spillway has partially filled in just west of the metro area. Finally, note how much land has been lost to the extreme southeast near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
