Wayanad and Kerala are reeling from the tragedy that struck yesterday. The only words that come out of Mundakai are the frantic search of missing loved ones and the desperate words.
The only thing left on the faces of the people who got their lives back was fear. Faced with that tragedy face to face, OP Moitu’s trembling words were too much to bear. Moitu escaped unhurt.
When Moitu opened her eyes in the early hours of Tuesday morning, she saw water up to her neck. Then daughter Ramsena and Ramsena’s eight-month-old baby were sleeping in the next room. By the time he swam through the water and picked up the child, the whole house was under water. Suddenly the bed in the room would rise up in the water and somehow escape by hanging onto it. His wife Kadia and another daughter were not at home as they were undergoing treatment at the Iqra Hospital in Kozhikode.
