Google Timelapse, from TIME

[LocoAko]

Hey all,

Warning: Don't visit this site if you need to be productive.

Wasn't sure which subforum to put this in (or if it has already been posted), but I saw this awesome link for timelapses of satellite imagery just recently completed by Google from 1984 on.

Timelapse: Landsat Satellite Images of Climate Change, via Google Earth Engine

Some really amazing ones on there -- the glaciers retreating, etc. But if you go to OKC there is plenty of cool to see, as well. Norman's growing sprawl is readily seen, and if you go to downtown OKC, you can see the growth along the interstates, the sudden appearance of the cleared out Oklahoma River, and the sudden removal of the old I-40.

Really awesome stuff!

Norman's growing sprawl is readily seen...

Wow. If anyone in Norman thinks traffic has gotten worse in the last 20 years that video will explain it.

really cool... the "wow" moment for me was seeing the 1999 tornado path. -M

That's cool! I wish I could zoom in closer!

I love how dynamic the South Canadian River is! Looks like it's crawling, lol.

Look at Houston and Shanghai is even crazier, almost unbelievable!!!!!!!

And the scar is still somewhat visible 14 years after.
