So many trees and electric poles were wiped out by it. The official report stated that 96 people died due to this cyclone. Approximately 6 lakhs people were highly affected by the cyclone. Some of their cultivated land or crops are flooded. Kolkata’s normal life takes five to six days to restore. The whole state was devastated by the storm. It started raining in the early evening of May 19. Strong winds have been becoming frequent since midnight. It was considerably cooler during the night. Most of us were unaware of the destruction that was about to begin the next day because of the spinning storm over the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal. Many people live without electricity for several days during the calamity. So many people lost their homes because of this. The government gave compensation to the families and gave their condolences to the families who lost their houses.
