LANDSLIDE WASHED AWAY MANY HOMES
Many houses were on the way in Kerala in Wayanad district and one of the stories is when Safna was sleeping with her family along with her husband Nishad and her 14-year-old sons in Chooralmala in Kerala Wayanad village. Early in the morning on Tuesday, Safna’s phone rang. Her neighbour said that they are standing on the terrace and the ground floor is filled with water. Safna’s house was not affected at that time because it was at a small height, so they quickly went and rescued their neighbour’s family.

After some time, a very big roar was heard and the earth shook beneath them and quickly everyone started moving toward the road.
Again, a voice came back around 4:00 a.m. and she said that the homes which are located on the edge of the Iruvazhinji River had disappeared, the 30-year-old bridge had washed away, the Government Vocational Higher Secondary School fallen into pieces
And there are still many such stories that haven’t come to light yet. But a lot of this has happened because of the landscape.
I would prefer you to stay home and the Indian government will help you to come out of the situation. We all are with you and we are all praying for you. I hope you will be in better condition after some days.
