Flooding in Luzon, the Philippines
Typhoon Melor swept through the northern Philippines on November 1, 2003, bringing 85 mile-per-hour winds and up to six inches of rain to the northeastern shores of Luzon. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite captured this image of the storm leaving the island on November 2, 2003. Flooding can clearly be seen in its wake. The Cargayan River, swollen and muddy with the storm�s run-off, is shown in the inset. According to news reports, at least four people died in the floods. The high resolution image provided above is at MODIS� maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters per pixel.
