Catastrophic flooding in Tennessee leaves at least 22 people dead and 51 missing

For the past six days Boulder, Colorado and nearby areas have been devastated by the worst flooding in decades.
<a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/17/20536628-more-than-500-rescued-or-found-safe-in-wake-of-deadly-colorado-floods?lite">Eight people have reportedly died</a> in the <keyword id="48088" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="floods">floods</keyword>, while 18,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed and 648 people still haven't been heard from. The pictures that have been coming out of these areas <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/flooding-in-boulder-colorado-2013-9">have been stunning and surreal</a>.
The sheer scale of the flooding can be difficult to image, but a graphic from Reuters gives some idea of two huge factors in the disaster.
First, this chart shows how phenomenal the amount of rainfall Colorado has seen this month. As Bryan Walsh of Time Magazine notes, Boulder itself has already smashed its record for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cms/posts/edit">annual precipitation with almost three months left of the year</a>.
<div class="image-container display-table"><div><div class="image">Reuters</div></div></div>
Secondly, a map helps give a sense of the sheer scale of the flooding - Reuters notes that the areas affected are nearly the size of the state of Delaware.

If you reside in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata, your motor insurance policy is going to increase, thanks to <keyword id="493481" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="chennai-floods">Chennai floods</keyword>. 
 
As Chennai floods saw claims of over Rs 1500 crore, the motor insurance companies are treading the path carefully and have decided to make premium 15% higher. 
 
"We will have to build in the factor of flood for all big cities that are developing fast and premium should go up by 10%-15%. Simple clogging due to rain water can enter basement parking and result in claims,” Vijay Kumar, head of motor insurance Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, told ET. 
 
The Rs 1500-crore claim during Chennai floods was more than that of 2006 Mumbai floods claim. Experts say that higher claims in metros act like a whip, thereby increasing the premium.
