More than 900 people are dead across Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Thailand after massive flooding and landslides tore through the region, and rescue teams are still hunting for hundreds who went missing. Sri Lanka got hammered the worst by Cyclone Ditwah, with the death count hitting 334, and parts of Colombo sitting underwater. President Anura Dissanayake called it the biggest disaster the island has seen since the 2004 tsunami that killed around 31,000 people, and he declared a state of emergency while promising to rebuild with help from other countries.
Over in Indonesia, at least 442 people died on Sumatra island, with another 402 still unaccounted for. Thousands got stranded without food or water after landslides wrecked roads and knocked out communication lines. Some locals broke into stores looking for supplies before aid showed up, and police had to step in. A woman named Afrianti lost her house and shop completely, and she's camping next to the one wall that's still standing with her family of nine.
