Once again
water entered home last night due to another heavy rain stroke the Chennai
city. We didn’t anticipate such heavy rainfall after the second week of
November’s downpour – that almost flooded the Chennai city, and met. Dept was
also certain that heavy rain is not possible unless there’s a low pressure in
Bay of Bengal. But still we received heavy rainfall because of the air
circulation or pulling up of air by the low pressure in Arabian Sea (according
to the met. Dept), although it had disappeared now, there’s a trace of low
pressure in the southern bay which perhaps trigger rain in one or two days if
it further moves northeast. It was pretty quick this time that the water level
around our home touched the doorstep within an hour of rain and as usual, the
sewage was the first to rose inside followed by the footsteps of flood water.
Lol
Once again
having an holiday at the upper portion of the house, with water receding slowly
and food coming from my aunt’s home in next street, it was a feel better
situation right now as we used to this already. Just only four days back we
climbed down to home and now with another replay waits ahead. We are in perplex whether to climb down again
or not with the weather condition been unstable here, and with the trace of new
low pressure and warning of raining throughout the state, we’re yet to decided to
do what only tomorrow. Glad there was electric and I was able to connect to
internet Wi-Fi to make a post on the condition we go through. Though I really don’t
want to write post on this and also not want to make a friend feel bad about declining
the invite to home during this time. I just write to let know others what’s happening
at this side. Will catch up with blogs once got down...
oh, i am sorry the flooding has returned again so soon! i am so glad you have that upper story to go to, though, and family nearby to feed you!

ReplyDeleteChennai life is like a hell now because of excess rain...
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have much rain here during the last one-and-a-half days. I am glad the sun is out now :)

I like how you thought of things to be thankful for even in this flooding. Electricity, wifi, friends. Just hang in there. Flood waters always recede!

Just be sure to stay safe. I am hoping the water recedes more and things improve.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, too much rain will give stress instead of joy.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be safe and dry always. Take care Jeevan.
Enough of this rain now.
ReplyDeleteHope it subsides soon.
Jeevan,The alarming return of rains is scary, today (1st) hope you and your family are safe. Please take care.
ReplyDeleteHello Jeevan. I have been away for over a year as I was nursing my sick husband who died at home last Dec. 19 I have missed your posts so much because your life seems exotic to me. I plan to slowly get back to blogging, maybe once a week. I don't seem to have as much energy as I used to.
