[HOT] Fwd: Floods in Chennai, India

[maning sambale]

Thanks Srinivas.

We have also asked the OSM-India community to help improve the basemap:
* Diary - https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/pratikyadav/diary/37445
* TM Project - http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/project/62

So far, I think this is a local activation.  But HOT and remote
mappers are welcome to jump in.
