Offering prays for the victims whether they are of my faith or not.

So will IRAN send aid and assistance or Biden?

#5 wait for the sewers to backup

They are at street level and on every story of every building there.

#6 Lots of Pakistani loyalists in Britain ready to be sent there to help with reconstruction!

#7 Not much chance of gov't-supported reconstruction, either. Probably, NGO's and China "loans".

#8 Also keep in mind that weather recorded history is essentially 200 years or less on a planet 4.3 billion years old.

#11 Going to bet the ocean along the Pak shore is not particularly excellent anyway.

#12 Zionist Weather Controllers strike again

#13 I would think a lot of the water would flow into India and we'd be getting reports of massive flooding there as well.

#14 Should attack uphill AFG for not containing the water in their leaky dams.

#15 Devastating floods are a regular event in Pakistan, because the money set aside for repairs and improvements after each flood is siphoned into numerous private accounts again and again. And so they pre-murder and pre-destroy their neighbours repeatedly, followed by loud cries of despair.

And so Pakistan loses again.
