#Amphan #Cyclone #WestBengal
Amphan, the second super cyclone to form over the Bay of Bengal since 1999 and "a double challenge" due to COVID-19, made landfall in West Bengal at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, 20 May, and continued to cause destruction in the form of high-velocity winds and heavy rains till about early in the morning on 21 May. The Quint's reporter from Bengal gives a first-hand account of the ferocious storm from her 41st-floor residence in Kolkata.

Our first floor is under construction and one of the windows covered with aluminium sheet that was nailed shut just blew off because of the wind pressure. It took me and my father over an hour, in the dark, to close it with wooden boards and planks. The wind was so strong that it wouldn't let me hold the boards. It was like pushing against me, threatening to throw me off. I'll be honest... I've experienced the 2008 floods in Mumbai and this cyclone was by far the scariest experience of my life so far. And to think we live in proper houses...the poor who have suffered, I hope and pray for their well-being.

One should never open a window during a cyclone while being on such an altitude. Air pressure is insane, a sudden change in air pressure could rip your home apart, wreck everything and could cause injury.

[@bshankar766]

Her house was not looking like as though wind broke inside the room.

[@SirusDas]

@@bshankar766 Bro the guy is right but TRÅILBLÅZER is also correct, here the changes are really less. Even i thought the first thing when she said lets open it. But it won't happen that easy and also needs some other criteria to make it happen which i cannot explain it here but to just give an idea its something like vacuum( due to pressure difference) and then you needs an outlet to break that vacuum real quick. It is definitely possible if surrounded by high pressure from all sides and suddenly one side becomes low pressure or vice versa, which is rare as she is in a flat(room) and the building seems really wide to make this phenomena possible. To vision how it would have looked like? She would have been sucked or pushed by an Alien Machine trying to escort, you into there ship floating in air while you are at the ground.The conclusion is: Do not try this at home what she just did in Cyclone. But i was actually thinking for Paragliding(Just kidding you need more height for it), at least better than getting sucked and dying (sarcasm) :P All readers of this please pray that the affected areas are recovered soon.

Had no electric connection for 10 days straight, that too because our house is closer to the main road. For few people it took as long as 21 days to get their electricity back. Reason : Huge population affected as per available manpower. The worst condition was however the big trees across the streets all over Kolkata and its suburbs. I remember, that evening around 7pm, as the wind roared outside, with a sudden loud earth crackling sound, our electricity was gone. My mother screamed, and I rushed towards the balcony door to peek outside. I literally felt the thunder hitting our backyard, until with a small peek I realized the big mango tree in our backyard had hit the ground over the backyard wall. By the next morning when we actually came out and saw the surroundings, every big tree in the vicinity was demolished to ground.

She was thinking about what if the building falls down

[@baski53]

Pl don't jump to conclusions. If it happened to any of us, you will also be terrified. A person living in slum lives with danger every day. So mentally they will be strong despite going thru difficulties. In this case, when you always live with comforts, your fear will be real and more. She would think what if building collapses. Becoz first time in life she is experiencing extreme weather. So please understand why she is crying. While slum dwellers face other types of problems, this experience for a normal human is also scary. Wish both of them well.

@Jambu Lingam man... It's best possible way to reduce land use ... If more people could be accommodated in very little ground space by vertical consteuction.. then very little land will be used for residential and offcie purposes... So that more land could remain untouched and forested .. which results in carbon neutrality ..nowadays farming has to be done indoors... With vertical farming bioponics technology.....agricultural sector is also a bane for environment.. not much green as you see... Only the forests and trees could save the oxygen and cleanse the air , land and water...

I wish every one is safe, it's really scary to face such situation. Some days before there was a storm in my locality, so there was like a big plastic thing with iron that was gonna fall on my car, so I went to stop it. And I flew with it a little bit but then it landed and I was safe just one of my leg got broken as it came below it. That thing was about 120kg and I am around 70kg. And that was not so good but a little adventurous but didn't turned out well. I actually forgot that my car has insurance and I don't like it can be repaired and I can get a new one but it's not vice versa for me Anyways be safe

[@genten777]

Paul: Gated community is indeed safe in packed cities like Kolkata teeming with poverty stricken people that seldom have access to clean water and a pot to piss in. Gated communities keep those people away from the rich and therefore keep them safe from being robbed. It truly is as simple as that!! Please don't forget that, ( painful as it is to swallow) India is a land of steep disparity between the rich and the poor and therefore since the have nots out number the haves, the haves have to protect themselves in what ever way they can ie live in gated communities!!
