This flood is really bad one. this is the first time it has happened so bad in 200 years. its like new orleans but worse. more than 4 cities are underwater. really bad news for my family too, infact all families living in surat. i dont live in surat but my dad owns a pretty big business in surat and he has suffered a loss of about (indian rupees converted into USD)$300k which is just and estimate not counting other losses of house and his staff. right now his cousin/ my uncle and the whole staff are stuck in the second floor of a building and my dad is in USA right now. this is really bad and its gona take a lot of time to get over the losses. there is no food or water and there is no way we can contact them. no one knows how many casualties there r because they can't reach there because of more than 25 feet of water almost everywhere.
