In July 1927, the rain caused a black storm. Thousands of villages and lakhs of houses were destroyed by this rain in Kheda and Ahmedabad districts. Countless cattle and human beings were stranded. Thousands of acres of cultivated and cultivable land were laid waste. Desolation was seen as if there had been a deluge. Sardar got a chance to show his strength this year.

In a challenging situation one gets a true sense of Sardar's heer and kheer. There was devastation everywhere. In such a raging situation, the Sardar arranged for relief work, in which the volunteers who rushed to listen to the Sardar's plea received prompt cooperation. People were witness to food shortages caused by floods caused by unprecedented rains.
