| Three people are reported to have died and thousands have fled their homes as a result of floods in Iran. The rising waters have been caused by continuous rain, some of the heaviest in the past three decades. This rain and the floods it has caused have affected most of the country but the provinces in the west and north east have been hit particularly hard. About 100 villages have been flooded in the western province of Lorestan (rugged, nasty country up in the Zagros mtns. about 100 miles due east of Baghdad). Some of them are reported to have completely disappeared under the water. Expect "three people" to rise a tad. |
