Rob, most of those Google images of Puna that I just viewed, from what I can tell on the development that is going on up at our farm, are at least 8 months old. The Images are a bit blurred but we can see what is being done and when... There is a house missing that was only built about 6 months ago... so this keys me in on the footprint Google Maps is providing right now of Puna.
For anyone that hasn't messed around with Google Earth.... I highly suggest you do just for the fun of it at least.
These fly by cameras can provide real time images and/or allow authorities to zoom in MUCH closer than any Google Satellite image.
