It has been raining heavily in Kerala, my native state, for the last one week which made the life of the people a tough one. My home and in –laws homes are in a safe place but my sister’s house is disturbed with water. A river is flowing nearby so the water is reached her home as well. Rain is not showing any sign of stopping. Such heavy rain is getting in this place after ten years of duration.
In fact many Indian states are getting heavy rain and most of the places are under water for the last one week. No idea what will be the outcome of this unusual rain.
There was no net connection for me for two days so I was absent here again.

@Sreekala Here in Odhisa also the situation is not different. My friend who has just returned from Bhubaneshwar says that roads in the capital city are submerged under knee-deep water.

@Shivram59 Yes, many deaths happened already. We can expect more as there may be outbreak of water born diseases after the floods. People must be careful on drinking water and food for avoiding health issues.

@Sreekala some families whose houses are submerged in flood waters, refuse to leave their homes because they fear their personal belongings will be stolen by robbers. but the government agencies insist they should leave their houses.
the evacuation centers are also crowded and drinking water is almost always not available.

Here too, in some places like Manila for the past weeks have been flooded too. Today, in the news, Olongapo is very flooded.
I hope the rain there will stop also just as I wish for you there. 
Stay safe.

Oh no, I hope it stops raining soon, I have a friend whose land floods whenever we have heavy rain because she has a creek that runs through her property, it can be scary when it rains hard.
I have just started following you and I sent you a message hoping you can help with a question I have about another member in India.

@dave121495 Every state government must do something favour for the people who are affected. It is their duty.

@Sreekala I doubt it, most government only think of their capricious wants.
