Flooding and mudslides in the Colombian city of Mocoa sent torrents of water and debris crashing onto houses overnight, killing 254 people, injuring hundreds and sending terrified residents.
Heavy rains caused several rivers to overflow, pushing sediment and rocks onto buildings and roads in the capital of southwestern Putumayo province and immobilising cars in mud in the early hours of Saturday.
‘It was torrential rainstorm, it got really strong between 11pm and 1am,’ said local resident Mario Usale, 42, who was looking for his father-in-law in the debris.
‘My mother-in-law was also missing, but we found her alive two kilometres away. She has head injuries, but she was conscious.’

Shortly after 10:00pm a silver sedan crashed into a bus, which is believed to have just dropped off passengers to the Perth Airport, at the intersection of Abernethy Road and Kewdale Road in Kewdale.
The bus was knocked onto its side from the impact.
A 16-year-old passenger of the sedan was killed in the crash.
The 19-year-old sedan driver was injured, as was the 46-year-old driver of the bus. Both were taken to Royal Perth Hospital, where they remained this morning in a stable condition.
Jessie Keith Miller was thrown into the international spotlight in the late 1920s when, escaping from the boredom of her life in Melbourne, she fled to the UK where she managed to convince British aviator Bill Lancaster to let her be his co-pilot.
Even though she’d never flown before, she became the first to woman fly across the equator — a 22,000km flight from England to Australia.
According to author Chrystopher Spicer who researched Miller’s life for his latest book, she achieved a multitude of ‘firsts’ for Australia. Spicer told The Huffington Post Australia due to unsavoury controversy in her life, Australians soon forgot about Miller (whose tongue-in-cheek nickname was ‘Chubbie.’)

Eleven elephants have been saved from ghastly deaths in Cambodia thanks to the collaboration of local villagers and wildlife conservation groups.
People living near the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in the province of Mondulkiri saw that the pachyderms were trapped in a large pit that a U.S. B52 bomb had originally created, the Cambodia Daily reported on Monday. In more recent years, the local community has been using the crater to store water.
The herd had apparently become stuck in the muddy pit, unable to scale the steep sides, when they wandered in to drink and bathe, according to LiveScience. By the time the local farmers spotted them on Sunday, it was clear they had been there for some time.

A website set up by soldiers that parades their sexual partners over the internet has been uncovered – and could land the Ministry of Defence in hot water.
The site shows a collection of women – who have been dubbed ‘blockrats’ by the troops – performing sex acts, in barracks beds or leaving the facilities in a ‘walk of shame.’
But the soldiers may have shot themselves in the foot with their crass site, as anyone found to be involved is likely to be hit with heavy punishment, which could include military prison.
