The thane Cyclone
I am going to tell you how I survived the Thane Cyclone , at night of Thursday the 29th December; it began raining at 10 when I was in front of my computer watching a new released film. It raised about 1 o’clock of the morning when I was trying to get asleep. But I wasn’t feeling very good with the sound of the whistling wind that was swaying the trees and was clapping the windows. Finally I slept about 3 o’clock of the morning.
I woke about noon when I saw the biggest disaster of my life, the broken windows were in my living-room, and the trees of my garden were uprooted. There was a power cut, I didn’t have water. So I passed the whole day in front of my French book.
My parents told me that the cyclone passed Pondicherry at about 6am with a speed of 145 km/h. They didn’t allow me to go out because lots of trees were uprooted and all the streets were blocked. But I wanted to see what was really happening outside. And I saw that houses were flooded, some steal roof sheets blown out and some cars were crushed by trees.
I think it isn’t the very good beginning of 2012 and unfortunately there was also 11 deaths.Most of the name boards of the shops were flown away all over the pondichery.
