Brazil Satellite images · Reply

Recently, Google released satellite images taken in Porto Alegre and Canoas, both in Rio Grande do Sul, which show the chaos after the rain, resulting in flooding, which left many homeless, in addition to obviously losing their belongings and some of these people missing.

The visualization is only available for Google Earth Pro (disable 3D before viewing). Therefore, I leave some coordinates for you to view.

1 – Beira Rio Stadium

30°03’54.53″S 51°14’06.36″W

2 – Firefighters, police and army tents to shelter victims rescued from the flood. There were also tents here where journalists followed the rescues.

30°02’10.22″S 51°14’27.85″W

3 – ‘Cidade Baixa’ region, Porto Alegre flooded

30°02’43.10″S 51°13’26.52″W

4 – Neighborhood of the city of Canoas, near Porto Alegre completely flooded

29°57’33.72″S 51°11’16.12″W

5 – Pavão Island and archipelago flooded, and part of the bridge connecting these islands is also partially flooded.

Although the population of Rio Grande do Sul is returning to its normal routine, many still need help to restart their lives. Do your part!

Google Maps solves case of missing elderly woman in Belgium

Belgium In the news · 1 comment

Paulette Landrieux’s case was about to be closed until a copper decided to look for her house on Google Maps. A chill went down his spine when he discovered an image of the pensioner walking away from her Belgium home and ultimately to her death.

By “creepy” coincidence, the Google Maps team had been out that day taking pictures. The image allowed police to retrace the mother-of-four’s footsteps, leading to the discovery of her body just yards away.
