Many of the U.S. metropolitan areas are covered in much higher
resolution, with an astonishing amount of detail visible, down to
less than a meter. There are quite a few small cities covered in this
high-res level.

I just learned of this site yesterday, (http://earth.google.com/).
Pulled up a "freebie" and played with it for a bit.
It's an satilite collage of overlapping stills (on a clear day or cloud
penetrating IR conversion) that allows your earth view of choice.
A friend told me about using this site to locate a remote lake he wants
to fish.
If allowed to zoom in on its own, the image becomes very fuzzy. You'll
find it helps to back off a little. Still, I was able to locate my
house by identifying a very small corner park 'prox a half block from
it.
This is just FYI. It's something to do during out continuing
record-breaking rainy season.
