In the lush, picturesque region of Wayanad in Kerala, Southern India, nature's fury has left a trail of destruction in its wake. After relentless heavy rains, homes, roads, bridges, and tea plantations have been washed away, and lives uprooted. What was once a serene landscape is now a scene of devastation. The heart-wrenching reality is succinctly echoed by a local resident: "We lost everything — my house and my car in a second. We lost our means to earn a living. We have lost everything."
