Absolutely incredible.
It really brings into focus, just how devastating the flooding was.

It's amazing the low number of deaths reported after looking at such devastation.

According to the latest note from Kfrancis, there were a lot of deaths along the deltas that were not reported. i hope he can find out more.

Robert, those are fantastic pictures. They need to be saved for posterity.

I understand that there are topographic maps of the islands, I wonder if these have been used to analyzed and modeled to establish flood areas? This is relatively simple and we have been doing it in the States since the '50's. Heck, I could even do it too with some of the free programs that the ACOE has online.
