RAIN LESSONS

The incessant rains that have been battering our region for weeks have left a trail of destruction in their wake. While the rains have brought devastation, they have also taught us valuable lessons:

The rains have shown us that nature's fury can be unpredictable and unforgiving. Despite advances in technology and weather forecasting, the rains have caught us off guard. This humbling experience reminds us to always be prepared for the unexpected.

The rains have exposed the vulnerabilities of our infrastructure, highlighting the need for better planning, design, and maintenance. We have seen how inadequate drainage systems can exacerbate natural disasters. This experience serves as a reminder to invest in robust infrastructure.

The relentless rains are a stark reminder of the impact of climate change on our environment. Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns are a wake-up call to take climate change seriously and to adopt sustainable practices in our daily lives.

These and other lessons from the unstoppable rain should not go down the drain. Otherwise the lessons may get unforgiving in the coming future. We have to set the course right by correcting the collective wrongs.

Heed the lessons, says the ruthless rain

Ignoring them will unleash further pain!
