Torrential rains wreak havoc in Thrissur
Thrissur district in Kerala is dealing with serious flooding and damage after days of heavy rain.
Over a dozen homes were damaged, one was destroyed, and several areas—including Cherpu and Chazhoor—were flooded when the Karuvannur river overflowed.
A collapsed well and fallen trees have made things even tougher for locals.
TL;DR
Nearly 200 families in relief camps
Around 550 people from nearly 200 families have had to move into relief camps as strong winds knocked out power and disrupted transport.
Officials say a poorly built bund gave way, making the flooding worse—a reminder that better planning is needed.
The weather department has put out an orange alert, warning of more very heavy rain ahead.
