Really interesting. Is there a source for the pictures and data to share with friends?

Awesome, blatanly obvious misinformation.

Are those images the same scale?

Not quite, the Helene one is between 25% and 50% more zoomed in based on what I can see of the bump of Louisiana and the shape of Cuba. Still a striking comparison even with that accounted for.

Edit: Oh wait, I misread the uncovered coast line on Cuba. I think that's actually closer than I initially thought. They just have it panned and rotated a little.
