What our misses taught us
- Nilgiris district-wide (Nilgiris, 2026-10-25): Reached level 5, one step short of our level-6 warning line. We are checking whether the line should be lower for the Nilgiris.
- Burliar (Nilgiris, 2026-10-23): The satellite saw far less rain here than local reports — a short, very heavy burst inside one satellite square. Our saved copy of this run only has the rain already fallen (the forecast part was not kept then), so the check may under-state what the live map showed. Fixes: cloudburst handling, more Tamil Nadu places, and every run now keeps its forecast.
- Kodaikanal (Dindigul, 2026-10-23): Very local heavy rain that the 25 km satellite square averaged away. Same saved-copy limit as Burliar. Fixes: cloudburst handling and Kodaikanal-area places on the alert list.
How we score
Every run of our engine is archived. When a landslide or slip is reported, we look up what our map showed for that spot in the last run BEFORE the event. It counts as warned if any land within 1 km was at level 6 or higher (a 1 in 100 chance or more for that square). Level 5 counts as a near miss. Lead time = hours between that run and the reported time (when only a date is reported, we use the start of the day, so the real lead time is longer). Misses are kept and published — they are how the model improves.

Thengumarahada (Moyar River flood)
2026-10-26 (Monday) · Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India
What happened: Moyar River flood, Monday 26 Oct 2026
Our map before it: 8 1 in 20 – 1 in 10 · about 39 h ahead
What we learn: Our map flagged this area at level 8 about 39 hours before. But Thengumarahada is not on our place-alert list, so no alert reached the people there. Fix: add more Nilgiris villages to the alert list.
