  Torrential rains in Chennai, where about 200 FULL employees live and work, have flooded the South Indian city, displacing as many as 1.8 million people and killing 269 in the state of Tamil Nadu.

  The photo above shows what was once the road outside FULL’s Chennai office. In many parts of the city, flood waters are even higher.

  A couple of dozen FULL employees are stranded at the office, their homes either flooded or inaccessible.

  Maha, one of our lead developers, filled us in on what’s happening.

  Today, Maha says, she walked a mile through hip-deep water to get to the office. “Last Monday was the worst,” she says of heavy rains on November 23rd. “We didn’t know there was another storm coming. We thought it was over, but this past Monday evening it got worse.” Rains continued for 28 hours, she says.

  We will continue to update the blog as we get more information.
