3000 x 3000 4 MB - JPEG
By the time the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite passed over Des Moines, Iowa, on June 29, 2008, and captured this image, the floods that had struck the city in mid-June when an aging levee failed were no longer apparent in the city itself. However, downstream (southeast) of the city, the flooding remained dramatic.
