NOAA has mapped Hurricane Helene’s damage from Panama City, through Tampa Bay, down to Port Charlotte. Here’s how you can zoom in to a neighborhood and see before-and-after views.
The extent of damage from Hurricane Helene’s historic storm surge along Florida’s Gulf Coast is becoming more clear now that the federal government is publishing detailed aerial photos taken during post-storm survey flights.Imagery posted on an interactive map was taken by NOAA’s Remote Sensing Division "to support NOAA homeland security and emergency response requirements" after the storm.
Helene’s storm surge had receded by the time of the NOAA overflights, so the most obvious sign of damage from the air is normally radiant blue swimming pools filled with brown or black water left behind by the floodwater.Some burned homes are also visible in the photos, including one on Davis Islands that was blamed on an electric vehicle that came into contact with the saltwater surge.
