Haha . . . yeah, they were mine. I can resend them to you tonight if you want, though I think I might do some readjustment and improvements on them first.

Are those tarps? I didn't know about FEMA and the blue roofs. At first I thought that was a popular style. I noticed they updated the aerial photos of Houston using ones taken in 2006.

They do update whenever a new set of images is added to the database. They tend to announce these updates on the Google Earth forum.
