Cyclone “Vayu” brings rains to Udaipur

The impact of cyclone “Vayu” could be seen in Udaipur city. With Vayu picking up speed in North-Eastern part of Arabian Sea, Udaipur felt blessed to have rains on Wednesday night. Storm was the ultimate effect of the cyclone which uprooted trees in several parts of the city. The entire day went unbearable with immense humidity and people heaved a sigh of relief after the first spell of long duration rains. The city was in terrible need of this spell.

It was around 8:45 p.m. when winds started blowing followed by a storm which was intense in some areas. Many trees fell down blocking roads and power cut was of course the immediate effect. When the rain started, people were overjoyed though humidity level was too high and power-cut made it unbearable to stay indoors. Initially the winds were so strong that people did not dare to move out of their premises. Many two-wheelers lost balance and slipped on the road. Many people even took to roadside for safety as driving was almost impossible.
