India
The Godavari River at Bhadrachalam went above the 56-foot danger mark on Saturday, sparking a third flood warning.
With heavy rain upstream (especially in Chhattisgarh), tributaries overflowed, flooding roads and cutting off low-lying areas.
Homes in Vaddegudem village ended up underwater, and even the Polavaram project downstream took a hit.
