The violence associated with torrential rain often stems from a combination of factors, including flash floods, landslides, and infrastructure failures. Intense rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to sudden flooding that endangers lives and property. Additionally, the stress and chaos created by such extreme weather can exacerbate tensions within communities, potentially leading to social unrest or violence. In some regions, the competition for increasingly scarce resources, such as food and safe land, can also trigger conflicts during and after severe rain events.
