A mindblowing set of images of what the flood in #Valencia looks like from space - images of the same region from 8 and 30 October (I've been to the area, this is scary):

@vicgrinberg wow! I was there on the 8th!
The big flooded area is the Albufera national park around the lagoon which is not built up and acts exactly as it should as a flood plain. It could have been a lot worse if that area hadn't been a protected nature reserve!
