Using GoogleEarth, go to Joplin, Missouri. It is easy to find the brownish swoosh across the southern half of the city. Go closer to view the devastation throughout that area. Then go to street level and click on the little cameras. Those views are prior to the tornado. The contrast is awe-full.

Very sad, too. 🙁

Kudos go out to my favorite baseball team for stepping up to the plate and helping this city get back on it's feet. :love:

We went out there about 2 weeks after the tornado went through. Spent about a month out there working with the USACE designing emergency housing for the victims. It looked like a war zone. I posted some pics a few weeks back [msg=106141]here[/msg].

This is a map one of the gis guys made that laid the tornado path over our town (Huntington, WV). It would have destroyed our whole town.

Holy,

Wow! That must have been a real nightmare for those that lived it.

My version of GE does not show the "little Cameras" in street view that you mention. Can you help?

JA. PLS SoCal

In the layers portion (on the left of my screen). There is a tab for "Primary Database". Expand the thread to find a tab for Photos. Make sure the box to the left of it is checked

For street view in the new versions of GE, you grab the yellow guy on the upper-right side of the screen and drag him onto a road. The roads will normally be highlighted in blue if street view is available.
