What exactly happened? and How it affected your area? Actually, during the monsoon season, my country receives heavy rainfall and people eagerly wait for it to get relief from the scorching heat of summers. But that year it rained more than expected it continuously rained for almost a week. I vividly remember, people were so happy about the rain initially but soon we realized that it is a kind of disaster and the administration declared an emergency.
People were trapped in their homes there was water all around it got clogged on streets and roads and because of that transportation got badly affected people were not able to move anywhere. Everyone was literally scared and they were praying to God. People were checking weather updates on television.
Unluckily, due to thunderstorms the power also went off which created more fear among people. Now, due to heavy rain, the water started to enter the houses especially in low-lying areas and it primarily happened because the sewage maintenance work was not done in time and thousands of people in the area got affected by it.
Thankfully for the safety of the people administration ran a rescue operation and people were moved to a safer place. Fortunately, on the fifth day the rains slowed down and we all were thankful to God. Soon the situation started to get better in terms of drainage of rainwater, restoration of power supply and others.
Conclusion: The best thing was that there was no major loss except some loss of property. Overall, it was quite a dreadful experience that I can never forget.
