NOAA CONDUCTS AERIAL SURVEY OF REGIONS RAVAGED BY
HURRICANE KATRINA
NOAA posted online more than 350 aerial images of the U.S.
Gulf Coast areas that were decimated by Hurricane Katrina.
NOAA will be flying more missions in the days ahead that will
yield hundreds of additional aerial digital images. The regions
photographed on Tuesday range from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula,
Miss. The southeast coastal areas of Louisiana are being photographed
on Wednesday. The aerial photograph missions were conducted
by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division the day after Katrina
made landfall at approximately 7:10 a.m. EDT on Aug. 29, 2005,
in Plaquemines Parish, La.

HURRICANE HUNTER PILOT CAPTURES KATRINA AT HER MEANEST —
NOAA hurricane hunter P-3 and Gulfstream IV aircraft conducted
ten long flights into and around the eye of Hurricane Katrina.
Lt. Mike Silah, a P-3 pilot, got to see Hurricane Katrina up
close and personal, especially when she was an extremely dangerous
Category Five storm in the Gulf of Mexico. The day before the
powerful and destructive storm made landfall on the USA Gulf
Coast, Silah snapped a series of images capturing the eyewall
of Katrina. |

MOBILIZES RESOURCES TO AID IN RECOVERY FROM HURRICANE KATRINA
— NOAA quickly mobilized a wide-range of its resources
immediately following Hurricane Katrina’s landfall on
the U.S. Gulf Coast. NOAA ships, planes and many experts are
helping to assess the damage caused by the powerful storm that
is responsible for widespread destruction and loss of life.
This is especially vital to New Orleans, La., and Mobile, Ala.,
two of the nation's major commercial ports. |
