NOAA Overflight Captures a Changed East Coast

Pictures taken from a plane reveal a coastline ravaged by Superstorm Sandy
> Aerial imagery is a crucial tool used by federal, state, and local officials as well as the public when responding to natural disasters," the agency said in a statement. "Many areas may be inaccessible due to the volume of debris."

> The images are overlaid atop Google Maps imagery, and the NOAA website offers only post-storm views. Those looking to compare specific areas would need to flip between the NOAA images and those from another mapping services, such as Google Earth. But the agency has compiled a handful of before-after shots of some of the hardest-hit zones, including Mantoloking and Seaside Heights, N.J.
