My Flood Experience

I had my first experience with a flood in late November last year after heavy rains that did not let up. The neighborhood quickly flooded, surprising residents as muddy water rose into homes, submerging furniture. Within two hours, the flood swept away everything, half-submerging vehicles and forcing some to climb to rooftops to await rescue boats, including the author who was later taken to a flood relief center with their family.

My Flood Experience

I had my first experience of a flood in late November last year. There had been a
heavy downpour for the past few days. Since it was the monsoon season, we
thought it was a normal occurrence. To our dismay, the rain did not let up and soon,
our neighbourhood was flooded.
We were totally caught by surprise. We desperately tried to salvage our
belongings but the flood water had risen too fast. Muddy water was flowing fast into
our home, submerging all the furniture.
In less than two hours, the flood swept away everything in its path. Almost all the
vehicles were half-submerged. Some residents climbed to the rooftops and waited
for the rescue boats. We also climbed to the rooftop. Later, we were taken by the
search and rescue staff to a flood relief centre. We stayed there for four days until
the floods subsided
It was a scary experience which I will never forget. We decided to prepare
ourselves for a flood during the monsoon season in the future.
