Imagery of the flooding in Pakistan

UPDATE, 13-August: Google has now put out a blog entry with a lot more info from their Crisis Response team about the flooding -- read it here.
A few days ago we told you that Google was seeking imagery and data for the flooding in Pakistan. While they're still working to acquire more data, NASA has released some imagery of the country and it's quite stunning.

You can view/download the images on the NASA Earth Observatory site. You can also view it by downloading this KML overlay -- be warned that the image is approximately 9 MB, so it'll take a little while to load.
If you wish to offer your resources to help, Network for Good has a list of organizations that are accepting contributions, along with a description of what each organizations will do with your donation.
