Ongoing floods (washed-out bridge pictured) in the United States affect six states and claim at least 26 lives.

Tropical cyclones: Hurricane Dean passes south of Jamaica and makes landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula, while Typhoon Sepat moves across Taiwan and makes a second landfall in Fujian, forcing the evacuation of nearly one million people in southeastern China.

The heaviest rainfall in 40 years causes massive flooding in North Korea that kills 200 and destroys 11% of the country's rice and corn fields.

An 8.0-magnitude earthquake off the Pacific coast devastates Ica and various regions of Peru, killing more than 500 and flattening more than 85,000 buildings.
