[Aztlan] Heavy Rains Flood South America

[Elaine Day Schele]

"Two months after intense rains began to pound much of South America, rivers
along the northwest coast of Peru remained flooded. The Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured the top
image of the flooded river systems on April 1, 2008. Streams and pools of
dark blue water dominate what was a tan-pink desert in early February,
immediately before the rains began."  For the rest of the story and to see
