English: This false-colour image provides a cloud-free view of the region’s swollen rivers. The images combine infrared and visible light to increase the contrast between water and land. Water is black or blue, while plant-covered ground is bright green. Bare earth around the Mississippi River is tan, and clouds are pale blue. A comparison between the two images reveals flooding on nearly every river system. The landscape is marbled blue from countless swollen streams that aren’t even visible in the pre-flood image. The Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and their tributaries are wider than they were before the flood. In the west, the Obion, Forked Deer, and Hatchie Rivers are also notably swollen.
