In late March, 2017, Tropical Cyclone Debbie crossed the eastern coast of Australia and then moved on to New Zealand. The heavy rainfall resulted in major floods all along its path. The floods were captured in several Sentinel-2 and Landsat images in early April. The best image we could find is a Sentinel-2 image captured on April 8th of the region around Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.

The imagery was obtained via the archive on Amazon AWS and processed using GeoSage’s Spectral Discovery tool.
As you can see from the measuring stick in this article the recent flood wasn’t the worst on record, but wasn’t far off.
To view the imagery in Google Earth you can download a low resolution version of the whole Sentinel-2 tile
and a high resolution version of just the Rockhampton area. We can’t share the full processed image as it is over 350Mb.
