Wait! My bad. I take it back.
Once you zoom in and look at detail, these pics ARE since Katrina. Not
sure why the difference between the overall view and the closeups but
the closeups are definitely after Katrina.
Sorry for the false alarm.

I don't think the point is to be current.
All that matters is the coordinates and the entries the user's input.
It's more likely that a user community will have more up to date info
than google maps.

For instance after a storm a sandbar moves. No way you're gonna have
satellite imagery of that.
but the people boating there will know where it is.
