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 on a flight to Makhanga, which two months on, is still cut off by the floods when all rail and road connections were washed away, is looking down on the flood waters still sat on the flood plain, with the line of the washed away road visible.
