I can understand why the Abrahamic god relied on floods. The morning after all the rain in Bombay and everything looks so clean! Well, there are the random spots where all the muck and random trash gathered up, but the roads, the paving blocks, the sidewalks, the trees were turned from a uniform grimy grey-brown to their real colours. (Which in the case of the roads was a different grey-brown but anyway.)
trees, yes.
roads, not really. mucky and gross.
