DigitalGlobe's WorldView-1 Satellite Captures the Impact of Hurricane Michael at Tyndall AFB


DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-1 satellite collected new imagery on October 11th of Panama City and Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), Florida, who were in the forefront of the Hurricane Michael onslaught.

Some of the imagery of Tyndall AFB clearly shows the power of the hurricane — stripping off roofs, tossing planes around and destroying property all throughout the region. Note that DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-1 satellite only collects panchromatic (black and white) imagery. DigitalGlobe will be updating their imagery of the Hurricane Michael after effects on a regular basis at their infosite,
