2017 Queensland floods

Heavy rains following Tropical Cyclone Debbie have caused rivers in eastern Australia to breach their banks, inundating roads and homes.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite mission captured this images of an area about 120 km northwest of Rockhampton, near the Junee State Forest. Here we see sediment-filled floodwaters from the Mackenzie and surrounding rivers inundating the land on 1 April.
