NASA Image: Hudson River Flood Sept 2011

This NASA satellite image, obtained by Reuters on September 2, 2011, and taken August 31, 2011, shows the Hudson River (C) flowing into New York Harbour, filled with sediment from upriver streams and rivers affected by the rains of Hurricane Irene. 

Residents of several U.S. Northeast states approached the Labour Day holiday weekend mired in mud and stuck in the dark on Thursday nearly a week after Hurricane Irene swallowed parts of the region with flooding.
