New satellite photos from Maxar Technologies have captured the reality of the devastating floods that wreaked havoc on northern Italy last week.
New satellite photos from Maxar Technologies have captured the reality of the devastating floods that wreaked havoc on northern Italy last week.
At least 14 people were killed, with heavy rain triggering hundreds of landslides, and 21 rivers burst their banks.
Here's how the region was affected.

The Italian government has pledged a €2 billion ($3.26 billion) aid package to the affected areas.

The cost of road damage alone in Emilia-Romagna is estimated at €1 billion ($1.63 billion).
Weatherzone posted this image of the moon's shadow falling across Western Australia during the rare total eclipse on April 20.
The Western Australian town of Exmouth was the best place to watch the 62-second totality, with the moon blocking out the sun for a total of 62 seconds at 11.29am AWST.
One of the most destructive storms seen in more than a decade is bearing down on Western Australia's coast as a category 5 cyclone.
Cyclone Ilsa will have a "very destructive core" with extreme wind gusts up to 285km/h.
This is what the dangerous weather system looks like from space.
The destructive storm was initially expected to hit as a category 4 but was upgraded hours before making landfall.
It will mark the biggest cyclone since 2015, with those living in affected towns told it's too late to leave.
The cyclone will have a "very destructive core" with extreme wind gusts up to 285km/h and will impact towns around the major port hub of Port Hedland.
Crater Lake in Oregon in the north west USA is regularly surrounded by deep snow and ice in the winter.
NASA's Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 took this image late last month.
Despite heavy snow - in 2021 12.5m fell, the lake rarely freezes.
That's because it is the deepest lake in the United States and among the deepest in the world.
It's an incredible 592 meters deep.
But it hasn't frozen since 1949, according to Crater Lake National Park.
Aside from the depth, the lake rarely freezes simply because it has a relatively small surface area.
In this NASA image, a small island known as Phantom Ship is visible just offshore.
The rocks of this island are remnants of an ancient volcanic cone that survived the eruption and collapse, NASA, said.
Thought to be 400,000 years old, it is the basin's oldest exposed rock.
Astronauts on the international space station (ISS) have captured an orbital sunrise over New Zealand on camera.
The ISS orbits 418 kilometres (260 miles) above the earth at 23,000 km/h, meaning the astronauts on board see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day.
In this photo, clouds can be seen sitting above an orbital sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
The International Space Station captured impressive photos of massive smoke plumes stretching across the NSW landscape yesterday as dozens of fires burn across the state.
The smoke stretched over central and southern NSW in the evening and the Himawari-9 satellite was able to capture the image from about 36,000 km above the ground.
Fires have burnt through thousands of hectares of land with some not yet under control.
This photo of one of the five smoke plumes seen from space is from a grass fire burning in the area of Curraweela, north of Taralga in the Southern Tablelands.
In Queensland, residents living nearby a number of the state's rivers have have been reminded again about potential flooding in the wake of previous heavy rainfall.
A major flood warning is currently in place for the Albert, Nicholson, Gregory and Leichhardt Rivers.
"Record major flooding is expected to be easing at Burketown on the Albert River," The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) said.
This image, released by Weatherzone, has shown numerous rivers – including the Leichhardt, the Albert and the Nicholson – all pouring their floodwaters from a recent bucketing of rain out into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
A rolling cloud has been spotted following the East Australian Current (EAC) down the NSW coastline.
Fish, turtles, sharks and whales use the current to navigate the Australian east coast waters.
It also famously made an appearance in the animated Pixar film Finding Nemo.
The current transports water from the equator - in the middle of the globe - to Australia's south coast.
The rolling cloud was formed by a string of cumulus clouds, which form from high temperatures and humidity.
The EAC's temperatures peaked at three degrees higher than normal, which led to the forming of the cloud, according to Weatherzone.

Tens of thousands of protesters blocked roads in cities across Israel during demonstrations on Monday, February 20, hours before the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced a controversial judicial overhaul bill.
The protest appeared to number about 75,000 people an hour and a quarter after it was scheduled to begin, crowd control expert Ofer Grinboim Liron told CNN.
Netanyahu's coalition is seeking the most sweeping overhaul of the Israeli legal system since the country's founding.
The most significant changes would allow a simple majority in the Knesset to overturn Supreme Court rulings.
The devastating impact of the earthquakes that have left tens of thousands of people dead in Turkey and Syria will be felt in the region for many months to come.
The death toll has now soared over 30,000, with that number expected to rise.
Extraordinary satellite images released by Maxar Technologies have showed the true extent of the destruction, while painting a detailed picture of just how long the road to recovery is.
In this picture, a large landslide is seen blocking the road after an earthquake in Islahiye, Turkey.
