7. Two radar satellite images of the same 20-mile by 30-mile area near the confluence of the Ohio and Wabash Rivers illustrating the severe flooding experienced in March 1997 in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and neighboring states. The right image was taken on March 9 and dramatically shows the extent of the flooding (dark areas). The left image is from August 1996 and serves as a dry-season comparison.
