Heavy flooding has been ongoing in Manitoba since the end of April 2022. Several communities have suffered extensive damage and 18 municipalities have declared a state of emergency.
The highway connecting Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital city to the USA, has been closed. Morris, the town shown in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 5 May 2022, has been isolated by the floodwaters.
