This Landsat 7 image shows moderate flooding along the Wabash River from Terre Haute, IN down to Mt Carmel, IL. This is a false color composite that uses bands 5-4-3 as Red-Green-Blue. The LandsatLook scene is from path 22, rows 33 and 34. Additional XML data for GIS can be found here.

This scene is GIS-ready with the additional .jgw file.

This Landsat 5 image shows the flooding around the confluence of the Ohio River (flowing from the upper right) and the Mississippi River (flowing from the left). This is a false color composite that uses bands 5-4-3 as Red-Green-Blue. The scene used was L5022034_03420110503.

This Landsat 5 image shows the flooding around the confluence of the Ohio River (flowing from the upper right) and the Mississippi River (flowing from the upper left), continuing on down the Mississippi River past New Madrid, MO. This is a false color composite that uses bands 5-4-3 as Red-Green-Blue. The scenes used were L5022034_03420110503 and L5022035_03520110503.

This Landsat 5 image is a false color composite using TM bands 7-5-3 as Red-Green-Blue.

The latest river stage at Terre Haute is 16.41 ft at 2:00 PM on 5/24. Flood stage is 14.0 ft.

This Landsat 7 image is a false color composite using TM bands 4-5-1 as Red-Green-Blue. This is displayed at 15 meter resolution, double the usual. The coloring derived from the 30 meter band combination has been applied to the panchromatic TM band 8. Mechanical problems onboard LandSAT-7 leaves gaps in the data, but the increased spatial resolution makes the image worthwhile.

In comparison, below is an image of a more normal river extent via Google Maps.

There is more serious flooding not visible just to the west of this satellite image, in Frankfort, Boston, and Lockport.
