« on: March 26, 2012, 10:19:58 PM »I know that. However, in my area, you have a choice between normal aerial views and the 45° aerial views.Wait, are you guys talking about the normal aerial views or the newer 45° views?We're talking about the normal aerial views. You can check all the satellite photos taken in your area with Google Earth. Just one thing, the dates aren't always correct.
Is that on Google Earth (the program) or Google maps (the online site)? I had seen that 45° feature on the maps website I believe and LOVE it (I know Bing has something similar with their Bird's Eye view, but it is very out-of-date). But I cannot seem to find the feature anywhere on Google Earth.
Yeah, I don't think there's a 45° feature on Google Earth, nor have I seen it on Google Maps, but I don't use Google Maps that much. I know in Google Earth you can "tilt" your view, but it's not a real 45° view. The only 45° viewing feature I've seen is on Bing, which I would agree, is very outdated. From what I've seen, they're pictures from 2004/2005-ish.
EDIT: Nevermind, Google Maps has 45° viewing but it's not for everywhere like where I am located.

Rainfall is critical when fire weather is present because it tells how moist the soil is:

YES!! Google finally got new satellite photos of Long Island! These "new" photos were taken on May 26th, 2011. They probably released them within the past couple of days because I checked for new satellite photos almost everyday. I'm sorry if I'm going too far with this be we needed new photos. A lot has changed here since Sep 2010, especially new roads. Just one thing, the quality sucks!

44°F Cloudy
0.20" of rain fell so far today. Bringing the monthly total to 0.67", one of the driest Marches on record. March on average is the wettest month too
