Irene, Google, and Duck Hole

Friends hiked into what is left of Duck Hole recently, to see what is left after the devastation caused by hurricane Irene, which resulted in the breaching of the dam. What had been a pretty pond, as seen on this satellite view compliments of Google maps,is now a pretty stream winding its way through what had been the lake bed. I've wondered how often Google, or whoever provides their satellite views, overflies an area. Especially an area like the Adirondacks where little supposedly changes from year to year. It will be interesting to see if and when the new view of Duck Hole shows up on the maps. Stay tuned.
