This MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)
image shows the Dongting Lake in China's central Hunan province, where
about 900,000 people piled up sandbags on Thursday to counter a crest of
floodwater from the Yangtze River. The blurriness visible in this
image is due to the image being towards the edge of the satellite pass.
