NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations and National Ocean Service conducted aerial and hydrographic surveys following a major storm that impacted the Mid-Atlantic region Nov. 12-14. A NOAA Cessna Citation acquired remote sensing imagery along the Hampton Roads, Va., shoreline.

Images captured by the aircraft include changes in shoreline due to flooding at Whalehead Beach and a grounded barge in Virginia Beach.
