July_2011_Flooding_Near_Hamburg_Iowa.jpg


Summary

Description
English: Natural-colour image of muddy water near Hamburg, Iowa. Sediment-choked water lingers on large swaths of land. Several roads, including Interstate 29 , dip below the water, and to the east of the Interstate, the standing water is darker in color. The stark earthen line separating Hamburg from the dark-colored flood water is probably a levee.
