Before the Flooding in Southeast Texas

Visualizations by Greg Rhodes Released on August 15, 2002

Southeast of San Antonio, Texas, rivers that were barely discernible in satellite imagery acquired in this late June 2002 by Terra MODIS stand out clearly in the congruent Aqua MODIS image from July 24, 2002. Heavy rains during the first week of July brought as much as 2 feet of rain to some places in southeastern Texas, resulting in massive flooding of three major river systems along the Gulf of Mexico. Please note that this story is in relation to the 'Flooding in Southeast Texas' story and is match-framed for dissolves in post production.
