Another Day, Another Flood

 We keep reading about these “massive cloud bursts” happening all over the world.  Last week it was Milwaukee that received 14 inches of rain over a short period of time.  Something never seen.  Today we read about massive flooding in India.

Even here in Minnesota it’s been very wet with huge rainfall totals.  Every 3-4 years it would rain hard enough to cause a river to flow across our backyard.  Last night it happened again.  That was the 5th time this summer.

A sudden, intense cloudburst over Chosoti, the last motorable point on the Machail Mata pilgrimage route, triggered devastating flash floods that swept away temporary shelters packed with pilgrims, vehicles and other infrastructure like community kitchen and security posts. The incident occurred during midday, when hundreds of people were gathered for lunch.

At least 60 fatalities have been confirmed, including two personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). More than 300 people were rescued, around 50 of them in critical condition, and over 250 individuals remain missing.
