I was poking around on Google Maps, when I noticed a huge section of Mississippi is shown flooded. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to the line between the flooded section and a normal one. I’ve seen a few buildings and roads poking out of some of these huge lakes. It’s a cool area to explore if you’re into neat stuff like that.

That’s really neat, especially considering that I-70 next to my house is currently under-water/closed.

If you play with the timelines on Google Earth, there is before and after coverage of Hurricanes Katrina (about a week between) and Sandy (can't remember the before date but it's daily after for a few days). It's really pretty crazy.

Awesome! I’ll have to check it out.

As someone directly affected and displaced by Sandy, I can assure you that neither that nor Katrina were “awesome”.

Eh, by the true definition of the word (extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear) they kind of were. But I get your point.
I was very surprised at the coverage though. I was writing a property report on a site in Far Rockaway and discovered it while I was trying to check that property’s history. The fire was further east and wasn't caught while burning but the visibility of the destruction is hard to wrap your mind around.

It's what you get for building on an obvious flood plain.
