Floods in India, Bangladesh leave millions homeless, 18 dead

It's good the government sent out rescue teams from the militaries of India and Bangladesh, I heard something about this disaster on BBC radio two days ago. It's terrible news, when I watched the actual news clip of the flooded town I thought it necessary to call the authorities to explain to them to prepare for such a disaster if it were to happen in our town. We live inland far from the ocean, it hasn't rained here our weatherman was turnt up about the climate. You may know bangladesh often referred to as a nation of rivers, a large delta comprised of three significant rivers; the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna. It is situated both in the Northern and Eastern hemispheres of the Earth. Bangladesh occupies an area of 148,460 sq. km (92248.7672 mile) in South Asia. Subsequently, Bangladesh is also one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. When the spring snows melt in the Himalayan Mountains the rivers often overflow running south to the sea. 2 Million saw their homes submerged not good when the rain pours, and some people are outside you can be struck by lightning. It's not safe working outside when it rains, that sounds odd to live without any rainfall. Constucting and upgrading mega structures should take a break. According to NASA, the polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate of 9% per decade. I should be less worried about the American life and do everything possible to prepare for such an aftermath. It happens when you don't expect it, doomsday could happen right in front of you. It's unimaginable understanding that it really happened there.
