As 'Rocky' yelped and made disturbing sounds, Mohanan and his wife woke up and tried to find out what was wrong. They soon heard a thunderous noise and ran out of their house, only to find to their horror their dwelling unit collapsing at picturesque Keerithode on Thursday, Mohanan told a television channel.
Idukki district is among the places badly hit in the monsoon rains which have triggered landslides and floods in the state since last week.
