Sri Lanka Floods, Landslides Kill 84 (Associated Press)

QUOTES:

"Flash floods and landslides killed at least 84 people in south-central Sri
Lanka and 47 more were missing and feared dead, officials said Sunday.

Floods of this magnitude are rare in Sri Lanka, a small tropical island
country off India's southern coast.

Last week, a cyclone hit Sri Lanka, blowing roofs off houses, uprooting
trees and leaving some streets in the capital under three feet of water.
Since then it has been raining heavily in central and southern parts of the
country, caused by a depression in the Bay of Bengal."
