Heavy rains triggered the collapse of hillsides, resulting in torrents of mud, water, and boulders cascading down onto the area. The landslides marked one of the deadliest natural disasters in Kerala's history with reports of at least 423 deaths, over 378 injuries, and more than 138 missing. The landslides are among several extreme weather events that have occurred in India in recent years.
