English: Cyclone Indlala hovered over northern Madagascar for the better part of three days after coming ashore on March 14, 2007, as a Category 3 storm. By March 18, the clouds had cleared enough to reveal the extensive flooding left in the storm’s wake. These images, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, show the northern tip of the island country. The images were made with a combination of infrared and visible light, so that water is blue or black, clouds are pale blue and white, plant-covered land is green, and bare ground is tan. Rivers throughout the region are clearly swollen in the wake of the storm. The Xinhua News Agency reported that 14 people had died in the winds and floods, while approximately 14,000 people were affected.
