Yahoo! Aerial Imagery

The Yahoo! Aerial Imagery (default background in Potlatch) for New Orleans is pre-Katrina photography. Compare yahoo to google. Obviously this is a problem.

Also, there are no tiles for the higher zoom levels in Potlatch, so the resolution of the imagery is inferior to that of that in other US cities.
