June 2014 floods in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa

2014 (approx.)

Detailed Description

Landsat images taken before (May 28) and during (June 21) the flood events of 2014. The second image clearly shows the Vermillion River and the Big Sioux River flooded over their banks. The lower right corner of the second image also has darker tones mixed throughout the agricultural areas (bright green). These darker tones suggest potential flood damage to the crops in this region.
