The Omaha World-Herald used Gigapan technology to create a 1.78-gigapixel image of the Missouri River flooding near Omaha on Wednesday, July 6. The view is looking west from Lewis and Clark Monument in Council Bluffs, Iowa. At 9:15 am the river was 35.5 Feet, flood stage is 29 feet. You can also see Interstate 29 flooded in the background. Because this large panoramic image is created by stitching together 150 high-resolution photos taken over a period of 19 minutes, there may be a few blurred sections where there was movement during the image capture process or where pictures were stitched together. Double click to zoom, or use the zoom navigation bar at left.
