Aerial photos of the Brisbane flood, 14 Jan 2011: http://www.abc.net.a...beforeafter.htm

using images taken by nearmap.com: http://www.nearmap.c...=k&nmd=20110113

You can zoom in and out, and move around. And compare different dates.

Their images come from Cessna aircraft with cameras attached. The definition is excellent.

"The HyperPod generates about 1Gigabyte of raw image data every second. To process the individual photos into seamless photomaps, nearmap.com's HyperVision PhotoMap processing solution runs on super-computer clusters of hardware and can produce a complete city-wide PhotoMap within a few days (compared to several months with alternative solutions)."
