🌧️ Brace yourselves, folks! Cyclone Dana has made a dramatic entrance, slamming into India's eastern coastline with full force. Late last night, around midnight, Dana roared ashore between Bhitarkanika in Odisha's Kendrapara district and Dhamra in Bhadrak.
With winds whipping up at speeds of 100-110 km/h, the cyclone unleashed heavy rains and gusty winds, battering the coastal areas of Odisha and West Bengal. Trees were uprooted 🌳, power lines snapped ⚡, and the relentless downpour disrupted everyday life.
The storm didn't just stop at knocking down trees—it also messed with civic services and took a toll on crops 🌾, causing concerns among local farmers. But here's a silver lining: so far, there have been no reported casualties 🙏.
As residents hunker down, local authorities are on high alert, working tirelessly to restore power and clear roads. If you're in the affected areas, stay indoors and stay safe! 🏠
