This year the monsoon has been particularly bad, no doubt highly because of accumulative climate change. As per the last many many years, rains will start to slow down towards the end of August. So, in the mean time, we who are outside of Kerala can keep everyone there in our prayers.

Hello @TravellerG ,
We are very sorry about the Kerala flood. We send all our hopes and wishes for the most positive outcome possible.
I understand this is a very concerning topic and I am following news about Kerala. I’ll merge all your posts on the subject together just so we are able to follow the outcome.
You can keep us posted in the Kerala (India), Needs help… How can we help??? thread.
Thank you, dear @IrrPavlova
What will happen to Kerala and South India if Mullaperiyar Dam breaks?
Under water sea cable for internet connectivity connects India to rest of the world , thats only in Cochin. If Cochin Goes Down, South Indian IT Hub will come to a stand still. All the gateway CISCO routers , switches etc in Kakkanad will float in Arabian Ocean. IP packets from Bangalore, Chennai etc will not cross the ocean.
Cochin Refineries – Which refines petroleum products and services most of South India. If it is washed away, TamilNadu, Karnataka and Andhra has to find much more expensive options for Petroleum Refineries.
Kerala will be in complete darkness for ages, no TV, no Internet, no Mobile towers, once the Idukki hydro electric power plant is washed away, resulting from Mullaperiyar collapse.
Kerala will be divided into two lands, impacting geography of India, and washing away an area of vast bio diversity, along with 30 lakh people. Serving rest of the people with food and other stuffs will be an extremely tedious task.
Port City of Cochin, will not be in world map anymore. Vallarpadam port will be a history, all of South India has to again depend on Colombo for Mother ships , a very expensive option.
Tamil Nadu will not get water for irrigation or drinking anymore, as stored water in Mullaperiyar dam will flow to the ocean, when the dam collapses.
Along its course, the water current will wash Idukki Dam, and many many Industries , Factories, IT Parks, Hospitals, Ports, Cochin City, temples, mosques, churches etc etc to the Arabian Ocean.
8)A disaster 180 times terrific than Hiroshima. This is not exaggeration. Spread this, my friends. Information is power. Kerala as well as Tamil Nadu are stakeholders in this issue. More than us, its normal Tamil people(excluding power-hungry politicians) who need such info. We need our brothers and sisters across the border to pressurize their own politicians to consider this as a humanitarian crisis, rather than an inter-state dispute.
You are very true… @junoza @StephenAbraham @IrrPavlova @PaulPavlinovich
Many ordinary people are worried and scared…
Really do not know, what to do…
God save…
