Thousands took to relief camps in Sri Lanka and southern India on Saturday to escape rising floodwaters after a cyclone killed at least 26 people. 11 people, mostly fishermen, remained missing in the two countries as nearly 9,000 people sought shelter in relief camps. Weather experts warned of more heavy rains to come, as the water level rose in several rivers in southern India. Nearly 4,000 people are in Sri Lankan relief camps amid the widespread destruction of property. Weather officials said the storm was likely to move north into Tamil Nadu and the east coast state of Andhra Pradesh in the next four days.
