High tide floods Mumbai, is city collapsing?
Mumbai High Tide Floods
Just as residents of Mumbai were waiting for this year’s monsoon rains to fall, parts of the city were unexpectedly flooded from a different source.
The unusually high tide on Thursday 12 June 2014 caused flooding in the streets of Dadar, Worli and Chaupati. In some places flood water was between 1 to 3 feet deep (30cm to 90cm).
Other areas of the city were also submerged, including roads near the famous Gateway of India.
