By now we have all head of the devastating flooding resulting from the swollen Mississippi River. GIS tools can help analyze the situation and assess damages associated with the flooding. I recently stumbled upon this 2 meter resolution image of the flooding and figured I would share it. The river is expected to crest at 57.5 feet on May 19, about 1.5 feet above the 1927 record, according to the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Check out Sat Image Corp image of the flooding for yourself: http://www.satimagingcorp.com/galleryimages/worldview-2-cairo-flooding-2.jpg
