2:10Now PlayingAt least 20 people, including four soldiers, have been killed and more than 100 are still missing in the devastating Sikkim flash floods. The floods have been so intense because it was the result of a cloudburst causing a glacial lake to overflow. A glacial lake outburst flood usually results in more destruction than a flood caused by excess rainfall. For some residents of the area, the calamity has brought back horrific memories of 1968. 55 years ago, the Darjeeling-Sikkim region received four days of continuous rainfall between October 2 and 5. This triggered hundreds of landslides, swept houses and bridges, and killed around 1,000 people. Full story here.
