Actually, mankind is the reason all these things happen too. Yes, there are these disasters but I heard stories of Governments granting companies tight to dam river. Gating it and submerging lands of people without compensation. And even if you give compensation, like another land its not fertile.
I believe creator is angry with mankind for our sins and Nature’s wrath is this!
I do feel your pain, and pain of millons of farmers who lost crops due to floods.
Maybe, its time to make peace with the river. Not by ofcourse getting washed and crushed by it but by knowing how its to be with the river. The force, the beauty, the freashness, clean flowing water and merge with nature and then rethink, the path.
Dreams get shattered in so many ways, its time to heal.
I would love to be in this place and be with its mighty river. Hear its sounds, see what it has, fishes, crabs… and I am sure it nourishes a lot of things from forests to other creatures!
River has healing and fun properties, learn to flow with it than go against it!
Wonder if fishing is good there?
