Channel: NASAEarthObservatory
Date: 2019-03-01

Intense storms from February 22-24, 2019, caused major flooding along the Middle Mississippi River. On February 25, 2019, the Landsat 8 satellite acquired images of swollen portions of the Mississippi River. That imagery is shown here alongside more typical winter conditions from February 27, 2014. Several areas near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Cairo, Illinois, and Memphis, Tennessee experienced moderate to major flooding.
