"KOLKATA: The spectre of flood loomed large over several parts of West
Bengal as there was no respite from the incessant rain.
Yet, there was no lull before the storm. Over 350 houses were razed to the
ground and three persons seriously injured in a freak storm that struck
Murshidabad on Thursday.
Accompanied by heavy rain and lasting for five minutes, it resembled a
tornado though authorities refused to call it so.
The worst-affected villages were Harahari, Chhamugram and Manigram in the
Sagardighi area.
The sudden storm hit the villages around 10 am, uprooting trees, destroying
houses and flattening standing crops.
The weather department warned the government of another 48 hours of
downpour with wind at the speed of 65-75 kmph, especially in north Bengal."
