Today’s coverage on CNN 10 starts with a natural disaster taking place in Southern Asia. Parts of Kerala, a state in southern India are underwater.

The rainy season brought on by the seasonal monsoons was worst this year than it usually is.

Indian officials say some parts of Kerala received more than twice the amount of rainfall that they usually do, and that’s caused the worst flooding the state has seen in almost a century.
