00:04Torrential rains over 2 days dumped more than 385 minitriads of rain in 24 hours, triggering
00:09floods and landslides, at least 17 people died, dozens are missing, hundreds of homes
00:14damaged, roads submerged, bridges washed out.

00:44struggling against muddy roads, overwhelmed shelters and supply chain disruptions.
