Cyclone Michaung leaves a trail of destruction in its wake in Bapatla, Guntur districts

Cyclone Michaung wreaked large-scale devastation in Bapatla and Guntur districts on Tuesday, as it made landfall near the Bapatla coast on Tuesday.

Standing crops in a large swathe of land were inundated, while electricity supply was disrupted in many areas. Roads were waterlogged in several places, bringing transport to a halt.

Some incidents of wall collapse were reported from a few places while there were reports of a temple caving in due to the heavy rain. However, no casualties were reported so far, with the district administration relocating people from 111 villages to rescue shelters.
