THE CHENNAI FLOODS
The 2015 South India floods of November–December affected Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, with more than 500 people killed and displacing over 1.8 million (18 lakh) people. With estimates of damages and losses ranging from nearly ₹200 billion (US$3 billion) to over ₹1 trillion (US$14 billion), the floods were the costliest to have occurred in 2015 and were among the costliest natural disasters of the year.
