One of the videos that have gone viral is that in which a snake is seen waddling through the flooding rainwaters as on-lookers stood watching under the roofs of shops and houses for shelter. Terrifying videos of the powerful waterfalls from Oman too, have generated a lot of buzz on social media.
After wreaking havoc and making a severe landfall in Oman, the raging floods of Cyclone Mekunu hit India’s coastal areas like Karnataka, Mangaluru and its surrounding areas. Many residents and on-lookers took to the Internet to share videos of the frightening sights that unfolded themselves in front of their eyes. One of the most spine-chilling videos that have gone viral is that in which a snake is seen waddling through the flooding rain waters as on-lookers stood watching under the roofs of shops and houses for shelter. Terrifying videos of the powerful waterfalls from Oman too, have generated a lot of buzz on social media.
The continuous and heavy rainfall in areas like Udupi and the twin districts of Dakshina Kannada has created a huge imbalance in the lives of people there. While residents in Mangaluru called it an “unforeseen rainfall”, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams reached out to assist the local administration officials in rescue operations.
