Not much could withstand a wind speed of 150km/hr. Thane cyclone created havoc in Cuddalore district and Pondicherry, when it struck on the fateful day of 30th December 2011. What remained after the tsunami was taken away by cyclone Thane. The cyclone blew away and damaged several of the thatched houses, neither did it spare people living in the Pucca houses. A lot damage was caused by uprooted trees falling on the roads and on top of houses. Anything that rose over 10 feet was not spared by the cyclone. The coconut trees towering a height of more than 20 ft took the worst hit. The Cyclone did ensure its reach to the industrial sector, where industrial workshops were blown apart. Trees and Electrical poles along the high way and other roads were uprooted. The damage to the electric poles plunged cuddalore in darkness for more than ten days with electricity supply just coming back to a few places. |
