#CycloneAmphaan hit India’s east coast more than 60 hours back and Kolkata is still without electricity, water supply, broadband. Phone networks are patchy. The death toll till now is 80. Videos & pics follow. Thread.
This is the first video @abhirup_chdhry sent me. His experience is bone chilling to listen to. This video is from 20th May, 4.30pm in Kolkata. In front is the Kolkata Airport. Otherwise brightly lit, but hidden by the wind. This was just the start.
He told me the cyclone lasted till about 9.30pm and in those 5 hours it seemed as if nothing will survive. His house is on the fourth floor and water was coming in through doors and A/C vents.
