Deadly Rains In India

About 850 people have died from record-setting rains that caused extensive flooding in Mumbai and triggered landslides in the region.

Nearly half of those confirmed dead in Maharashtra state in western India died in the city of Mumbai — formerly called Bombay.

The city is used to heavy rain during the monsoon season, but Mumbai was deluged with 940 millimeters of rain in 24 hours — the most any Indian city ever has received in a day.

Our hearts reach out to the people of India in this hard time. Our deepest condolences to the families who lost their loved ones.
May they rest in peace, and God bless their souls.
