Visualising the scale of Pakistan floods

If you are in Europe it may be hard to visualise the scale of the floods in Pakistan. These two images show a scale image of the flood overlayed on the map of the UK/Northern Europe and on Central Europe. You can see how the approximate 1400km of flooding would stretch if they hit Europe.
