At least 350 have died in the worst flooding parts of southern India have seen in a century |
They often have some flooding due to seasonal monsoons, but this was the worst in at least a century.
About 350 people have died, mostly in landslides, and at least 750,000 people have been evacuated.
The rain is finally tapering off after two weeks of downpours, but the damage is done. Many people are still stranded, and authorities are struggling to bring in relief supplies. The flood has given us some stunning and scary images, like in the videos below.
