Chilean Flooding

As the world watched the rescue of 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach from deep inside a flooded cave, on the other side of the globe a group of Chilean miners followed the unfolding drama anxiously.

Heavy rains have caused severe flooding and cut water service to 4.5 million people around Chile's capital, Santiago, officials said Sunday.

The death toll from flash floods that devastated Chile's normally arid north has risen to 26 and could increase further, with another 120 people still missing, officials said.

The death toll from devastating flash floods in Chile's normally arid north rose to 23 today after five bodies were found, and the number of missing surged to 57, authorities said.

Flooding caused by torrential rains in a normally dry region of northern Chile left at least two people dead and 24 missing Wednesday, officials said.
