DECEMBER 2014 FLOOD

The December 2014 flood was the most significant and largest recorded flood in the history of Kelantan, Malaysia with record-setting rainfall of 1295mm i.e. equivalent to the amount of rain usually seen in a span of 64 days. It was considered to be a “tsunami-like disaster” in which 200,000 were displaced and killing 21, while approximately 3,000 - 3,500 houses were completely destroyed.
