(Click photo for more images) A Boing Boing reader says: "A friend of mine was recently describing their experience in Mumbai last month experience the largest amount of rainfall in 24hrs in India's rcorded history.
"The numbers are pretty amazing, in 24 hrs approx. 1 meter (37in) of rain fell during a weather phenomenom called a cloudburst. This is an average of 4in/hr. The event killed over 1000 people and forced people to be stuck in their offices for 2 days or mroe. The cities infrastructure has basically collapsed.
"The interesting thing is how blogs became an important agregator of information. The suggested blog has basically become the source for updates and additional information for the tragedy. I included one entry that shows an overview of the pictures.
"The surprising thing is how little has been told of the event. While it pales in comparison to Tsunami that hit last Dec, the statistics are still pretty amazing." Link
