Skies over northeastern Japan were entirely cloud-free on March 13, 2011, providing a clear view of tsu­na­mi flooding along the coastline. Water, black and dark blue in these false-color images, still covers the ground as much as five kilometers (three miles) from the coast. The lower image, taken on February 26, 2011, shows the coastline under normal conditions.; By NASA / Goddard Space Flight Center [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
