United diagnosticss
Cyclone Amphan has made landfall on the western coast of India and states like Odisha and West Bengal are in the path of its fury. The devastating force of the cyclone has started causing widespread destruction in West Bengal. Two deaths have already been reported and more than 5 thousand houses have been damaged.
Cyclone Amphan’s landfall has caused strong winds to ravage the countryside. In West Bengal, winds having speeds of 110 to 120 kilometres and hour have been recorded and the intensity is likely to increase.
The winds are so strong, even heavy vehicles like trucks and containers are being upturned like toys. A twitter user has posted a video which shows just how strong these winds can be.
