Summary:

This PlanetScope imagery captured by Planet Labs Inc. on July 20, 2023 shows the impacts from Dortches-Battleboro, NC tornado on July 19, 2023.

The true Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.

The color infrared image is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels from the Planet instrument allowing for the ability to see areas impacted from the hurricane. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue.

Suggested Use:
