One hundred and fifty bodies have been recovered and officials believe that number will grow much larger.
Entire villages are still under the raging waters and thousands are missing.
At least sixty-five thousand people are cutoff from rescue, with supplies being dropped in by helicopter.
Military forces have airlifted more than twenty thousand people, out of harms way.
Uttarakhand is by the far the hardest hit by the monsoon, but other Indian states are feeling the effects as well.
Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have combined for twenty-eight deaths, with more than a hundred missing.
Some areas are seeing a decrease in the rain, but it will be awhile until the waters finally recede.
