You are correct, they don't appear to be. This one seems more accurate there, but the difference is still stark:

I did one too. Top and bottom before I saw yours. Here it is as well to help with the scale. I overlaid them in Photoshop to help get the land the same but hell its nuts.

I was going to correct you on the comparison and I tried making my own scaled image .... but I couldn't because yours is a correct scale

I just couldn't believe that Helene was that massive and widespread compared to Katrina which was known as a major event. wow
