Kerala floods

[rikita]

a bit late for this thread, but i noticed there isn't one ... it is sad to see the pictures of so many places flooded - and according to wikipedia 445 people have died. i don't have contact with anyone in "my" village anymore (no one of the people we were close to was much into using email or internet), so no idea how effected they are. the village is up in the hills, but i suppose could still be effected by land slides. i read about nearby towns like pala being flooded ...

Rikita, I don't know if we have the same things come up on our internet searches, but here is a live update link for Kerala. The airport reopened today & the schools were scheduled to reopen: indianexpress.com/article/india/kerala-floods-live-updates-kochi-airport-govt-schools-to-reopen-today-rahul-gandhi-5330335/

Before & after NASA images of the affected areas: www.ndtv.com/kerala-news/nasa-before-after-images-of-kerala-show-the-flood-ravaged-states-devastation-1907561

No idea if this will get you more information about the village where you were, but maybe worth a try: google.org/personfinder/2018-kerala-flooding
