Floods Swamp Bangladesh

Monsoon rains have overwhelmed villages, inundated crops, and displaced
hundreds of 1000s of people.

Torrential monsoon rains, lightning, and landslides are common in
Bangladesh and the northeastern Indian states of Assam and Meghalaya
during the summer. But the intensity of the severe weather that
pummeled the low-lying region in mid-June 2022 stands out.

After weeks of downpours, flooding has swamped mns of homes and
displaced 100s of 1000s of people in India and Bangladesh,
according to reports from humanitarian agencies. Officials from the
hard-hit Sylhet region of Bangladesh have called the floods the worst
to hit the area in more than a century.

The images above show northeast Bangladesh and India on May 8 (left)
and June 22 (right). These false-color images, acquired with the
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua
satellite, combine infrared and visible light (bands 7-2-1) to make it
easier to see the boundary between water and land. Water appears navy
blue and black; clouds are white or cyan; and vegetation is bright
green.

On June 22, the Bangladesh Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre
reported water levels along the Surma River in Sylhet were at or above
"danger level" at several locations. About half of the croplands in
Sylhet have flooded, according to the Dhaka Times.

[Maybe not just SD. We've been seeing nightly displays of big yellow
lights appearing overhead, hovering, moving around, and disappearing
around 6pm-8pm for past few weeks. Quite a few times I've turned
around and seen 2 yellow "stars" at a place only 1 should be only to
realize one of them was drifting along v slowly. One time I turned back
and the 2nd one started moving as well. Normally would not be too
interesting. But someone has worked up some kind of patrol with
several light aircraft and a couple of jets that regularly patrol
around the region, apparently trying to scare the "drones"
off. Earlier this evening saw a dim light over in the E moving N to S.
Might have been a polar sat but for 2nd time in the evening a light
aircraft came screaming in from N aimed directly under where the "sat"
was. I thought the plane might slow down and do something, but it
acted like it wasn't interested and just kept going. The dim little
light didn't seem to react, either. Just back from outside ~midnight
and "CAP" was over to the east apparently flashing lights up into the
sky for some reason].
