#1 I can remember reading similar (VERY similar!) articles like this last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. Lots of talk about responding, but nothing about alleviating the problem. Typical In'sAllah behavior. I have no more sympathy. The needle not only has pegged on empty, it bent.

#2 Seasonal monsoon rains and flooding are unprecedented in this part of the world. And by 'unprecedented', I mean happens regularly on an annual basis since pretty much the beginning of time. Or at least since Gondwanaland broke up.

You would think someone would have noticed by now and maybe dug some ditches.
