Violent Rain
Heavy rains and the subsequent floods are
among the great natural disasters that cause
many casualties. Especially in recent years,
such events have caused serious material
damage and killed many people throughout
the world. The floods that affected Europe
in recent years are an example. Heavy downpours
hit almost all of Europe, causing floods
and submerging portions of many large cities.
The seasonal monsoon rains
that strike India, Nepal, and Bangladesh
in 2002 left behind 900 dead. In China,
on the other hand, mudslides caused by heavy
summer rains killed 1,000 people in August
2002.32
