As editor of CADwire.net, lots of interesting things cross my desk every day. But among the most interesting to me personally of late are satellite photos chronicling this year's incredible hurricane season. I feel compelled to share some photos of Hurricane Ivan from earlier this week. Its sheer size was incredible...
The following two images are from Orbimage -- a leading global provider of geospatial imagery -- Showing Ivan just prior to hitting land, and again later after moving inland.
