Floods in River Motagua, Izabal, Guatemala

Using MODIS sensor data from the Terra satellite, flooded areas were identified in the tributaries of the Motagua River by comparing images from two different dates. The images on the left are from May 3, 2010, and the images on the right are from June 2, 2010, after Tropical Storm Agatha had passed through.
