If you view imagery here:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/trop-atl.html

It tells you to go to here for high resolution imagery:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/index.php

The imagery on those normal pages are from GOES13 still. It says:

"SPECIAL MESSAGE:  Satellite Change

GOES-16 is now GOES-East. Data on this page, although labeled GOES-East, is from GOES-13 and is no longer the official GOES-East imagery."

On the NASA satellite page ( https://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/ ) it says:

"NOTICE: GOES-13 will be retired on January 3, 2018, after which our legacy East imagery will no longer be produced. "

Along with the sites above, these sites also continue to have the new imagery:

https://realearth.ssec.wisc.edu/  (Click "All" tab in left column and then look for GOES East folders)

If anyone sees any more nice sites post them.
