Published On: Thursday, May 21, 2020 | By: Team KnowMyStock

Extremely severe cyclone 'Amphan' has killed at least 12 persons and ravaged Kolkata and several parts of West Bengal as it left behind a trail of destruction by uprooting trees, destroying thousands of homes and swamping low-lying areas of the state. Senior state officials said it was too early to estimate a toll on life or damage to property as the hardest-hit areas were still not accessible. Packing heavy rain and winds with speeds of up to 190 kmph, extremely severe cyclone Amphan slammed the Digha coast of West Bengal at 2.30 pm on Wednesday, triggering heavy rainfall and gusts in various parts of the state. Strong winds with speed up to 125 km per hour upturned cars in Kolkata and felled trees and electricity poles blocking important roads and intersections.
