Incredible Flood Damage Across Northern India
At least 120 are dead in one of the worst monsoon seasons on record.
Early monsoon rains hit India with record speed this week, killing at least 120 people so far and leaving tens of thousands stranded or missing. Prime minister Manmohan Singh said Wednesday that "it is feared that the loss of life could be much higher."
Heavy rains caused the worst damage in the states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, located in the foothills of the Himalayas. Downpours there have left roads, homes, cars and cell phone towers destroyed.
