Yes, we are so fortunate here, don't always realize it.

This flood has been disastrous, it's heartbreaking.

Yes...massive flooding over a  nearly 2000 km coastline...from Kerala...Karnataka...Maharashtra...to Gujarat.  Last year monsoon it was only Kerala that received heavy rainfall...this time it is the entire western coastline.  I think climate change is starting to show itself...
