Big Indian river close to flooding (Associated Press)

"The Brahmaputra River, one of Asia's largest, was close to breaking its
banks on Wednesday after overnight rain worsened flooding in northeastern
India and neighboring Bangladesh. Monsoonal flooding of several tributaries
of the Brahmaputra has already inundated more than 1,000 villages, driving
700,000 people from their homes, said officials in India's Assam state.
In Bangladesh, more than half a million people have been stranded in
flooded villages or lost houses, crops and livestock. Rains and
overflowing rivers have submerged 20 percent of Bangladesh, a low-lying
delta nation crisscrossed by hundreds of rivers."
