28 September 1908: the day the Musi overwhelmed #Hyderabad.
On its 118th anniversary, we trace the flood from the first warnings before dawn to the retreat of the waters that evening.
A timeline of the Great Musi Flood. 🧵
By 4 PM, the Musi has receded to its banks. The damaged Afzal Bridge had begun reappearing between 2 and 3 PM. As the water retreats, it reveals the destruction left across the riverfront.
