We're all trying here to find more information about the Gulf lighthouses that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. I was just sitting on the couch here, and glanced at a New York Times article. It was about people creating "overlays" for Google Earth of the Gulf area post-Katrina. People are using it to find out how their houses fared.
Here\'s the article. This got me thinking...could we use this to check on our
lighthouses? I can't right now, since Google Earth requires broadband access, something we don't have here on the OBX (driving me CRAZY! I wanna see the reunion photos!). There is some info in the article. Maybe we could make a "group effort" to check on all the lights?
An idea...it could work, it could fail...and it could become a groundbreaking idea that will be used throughout the lighthouse world. Send me the royalty cheques.
