Record Flooding in Pakistan Kills At Least 13, Submerges Much of Karachi
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Pakistan, torrential rains have killed at least 13 people, and
submerged large swathes of Karachi, Pakistan's largest city. This comes
in the midst of the covid-19 outbreak. The record-breaking rains this
month are 10 times the monthly average, and the worst since
record-keeping began some 90 years ago. Last week, over eight inches of
rain fell in a period of just 12 hours.
