In mid January 2015, a three day period of excessive rain brought unprecedented floods to the small poor African country of Malawi. It displaced nearly quarter of a million people, devastated 64,000 hectares of land, and killed several hundred people. This shot taken from the air shows flood waters and farmland destroyed by the floods, with local farmers crossing their devastated fields.
