#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.

[@MystqStar]

I live in Hooghly district and we experienced pretty much the same sort of devastation as Kolkata city. 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.

[@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.

I can never forget that evening.

Staying in 41st floor during this cyclone is like sitting in a plane which is nearly crash.

[@saygr8]

Not quite. High rise structure design goes through extreme scrutiny and incorporates unprecedented design loads like wind, storm, rain, hail, snow, earthquakes (extreme cases such as 1000 years frequency ones as well) along with serviceability criteria that the minimal living conditions are maintained under any circumstances.

Staying so high would be more dangerous in case of a fire or earthquake. How many flights of stairs would one have to run when the lifts are also not advisable / shut off. Storms are no big deal.

When people were hiding to save their lives during cyclone,, I was out on the road facing it just to ensure that no homeless is left behind during this tropical menace... It was the time during covid and no one cared for the homeless so I did making sure that they reach the government ensured shelter or KMC community halls ASAP.... I've also saved many stray dogs whom were stuck under fallen trees and flooded streets and lane... and I did all of it not for any might of bravery award or something just did it to ensure that humanity still exists... I didn't spoke about it in any media platform till date.. Only my family and my friends know about it.... A small request to everyone please don't get hyped by reading this comment just wanted to say what I've experienced and did on that day.. THANK YOU 😊😊😊😊

@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...

Moral of the Story: Gated community is also not safe.

[@sridtns9268]

Gated community is worst. People who likes to be controlled lives there.

[@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!!

[@therealrohitrocker]

Gates communities are always safer and even after cyclone, the gated communities have fared much better than other places. Power and mobile connectivity was not impacted in my community. Lots of trees were sadly lost. We could clear the roads much sooner
