CNN by Matthew Knight (excerpts):  These satellite photos taken before and after recent floods in Thailand show how the landscape has been transformed.  The slide contrasts two identical areas of Southeast Asia taken on November 12, 2008 and November 1, 2011.  Captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Terra satellite, the images show Thailand.  The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that around 200,000 hectares (~494,000 acres) of farmland have been affected by the floods across the country.  The urban economy also has been thrown into flux with an estimated 1,000 factories affected.  The country is a manufacturing hub for hundreds of electronics companies.  The IUCN expects total economic losses from the disaster to exceed $3 billion.  

Commentary:  There has been major flooding throughout the United States, ruining massive crops; there have been devasting floods in Australia, China, Mexico, Southeast Asia, to name a few areas throughout the world.  The floods and storms have been record-breaking, not to mention the astronomical rise in earthquakes since only last year (see the graph below), and there have been 56 volcanic eruptions so far in 2011 (volcano.si.edu/world/find_eruptions.cfm).  "I will show wonders in heaven above, signs in the earth beneath; blood, fire and vapor of smoke" Acts 2:19
