@pbsnews: In South Asia, more than 800 people are still missing after last week's catastrophic floods claimed more than 1,000 lives across Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka. More than half of those deaths were on Indonesia's Sumatra Island, where landslides left behind miles of thick mud tangled with trees and sheet metal. As rescuers scramble to recover the dead, families are left to absorb a staggering loss.The floods brought on by a rare tropical cyclone have displaced nearly 300,000 Indonesians, as a separate storm inundated parts of Sri Lanka. The president of that island nation said the scale of the damage is unprecedented.In Thailand, which was also hit, authorities were still working to restore water and electricity. The Thai prime minister set a seven-day timeline for residents to return home. #news #pbsnews #floods #indonesia #thailand #srilanka #flooding
