Monsoon rains causing distress in India

Monsoon season is here: more than 2 million people have been affected by the current monsoonal moisture pummeling the country of India. Almost 80 people have been killed by the tremendous flood waters from heavy monsoon rains. The rain isn't going to let up anytime soon either; forecasts are expecting the rain to still last at least a few more days. The flood waters have forced residents of the affected cities to the trees to escape the fast moving waters. Since the monsoon rains began in August many homes have been completely washed away with its residents still inside, most of the deaths occurring at night. One of the hardest hit areas in India by the  heavy rain is the state Orissa in eastern India, which is where the majority of the deaths have occured so far.
