Bing has release an app that documents the massive damage from the May 22nd Joplin, Missouri tornado. The new app is a part of Bing Maps, which has become a really nice competitor for Google Maps. According the Bing team the photos come from “Surdex, one of our Global Ortho flying partners, captured these images 36 hours after the event at an amazing 7.5 cm resolution (which means each pixel represents an area about the size of a standard post-it note). Surdex is making these images freely available to government agencies as a public service (see their website for details).”
The app shows both before and after photos that document the sad damage of the massive EF-5 storm. Users can flip back and forth between both the before and after shots to see the changes.
To access it, you can visit the Joplin Tornado app page.
