With India its so difficult man! Where I come from always escapes monsoon
Serious draught there.And on contrary in Maharashta, what a chaos!
Rajasthan has had rare monsoon floods too at times and they were scary!

i know what u mean bros , i went to pakistan for hols yrs ago and experienced the monsoon, it was so bad , biggest problem in oor countries r the problems we get with buildings with not so strong foundations in the first place , specially in the small cities and villages

in the uk it can rain like hell , we do get floods at least the foundations r good but being a european country the soil is totally different compared to asian countries, very soft soil

it breaks my heart when i see these things happening all the time in asian countries, their already so poor and this is the last thing they need the poor people in their farms, it totally destroys their livelihoods, rice and wheat etc

turbohot u ever exoerienced nayri , we call it nayri in punjabi when its suddenly goes all dark coz of the very fast winds coming with sand all over and it totally darkens the skies and sand buries the small homes and cars

man i experienced small ones and once i was away for hols that time too and man, couldnt believe it, sand all over the house, takes ages to get out
