The only life lost was that of a fisherman, who had ventured out to sea, ignoring warnings.
CM Mamata Banerjee said relief of Rs 10 crore had been sent to be distributed at 14,000 relief centres. She said the destruction caused by Cyclone Yaas could only be known after 72 hours, and sought reports.

Conditions in the basin favored development as the system became a deep depression later that day, before intensifying into a cyclonic storm on the next day, receiving the name Yaas. The system further intensified as it turned to the northeast, becoming a severe cyclonic storm on May 24 despite moderate wind shear. Marginally favorable conditions further continued as Yaas accelerated northeastward, strengthening to a Category 1-equivalent tropical cyclone and to a very severe cyclonic storm on May 25. Yaas crossed the northern Odisha coast around 20 km south of Balasore at its peak intensity as a very severe cyclonic storm on May 26.

The cyclone hit the coast with a wind speed of 130-140 kmph, gusting to 155 kmph. At least one crore people have been affected in West Bengal due to Cyclone Yaas. Yaas has caused an economic cost of $ 2.76 bn loss in West Bengal alone. The three affected states of West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand will see estimated economic losses to the tune of $ 7-8 bn in India this fiscal. some tropical cyclones can have positive effects on land and oceans. For example: they bring rainfall to areas of drought, increase the flow of rivers and streams dragging waste, recharge aquifers, help balance heat in the oceans and drag nutrients into the sea.]]> 2021-07-01 04:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/smitasingh_dps/p90xkwi0e0rrgap2/wish/1632893924 Chitranshu Raj https://padlet.com/smitasingh_dps/p90xkwi0e0rrgap2/wish/1632893950 Cyclones can be most intense storms on the earth.

#Cyclone Yaas inundated low-lying areas and uprooted trees, and claimed at least three lives — two in Odisha and one in West Bengal. Farmlands throughout Odisha, West Bengal, and some in Jharkhand were damaged by flooding. Railway and marine activities were halted due to Yaas.
#Hours before the landfall, in Digha, a coastal town of West Bengal, tall tidal waves breached embankments and flooded villages around a kilometre from the sea. Tajpur, Shankarpur and Mandarmani, all coastal towns were affected by the cyclone. Shops, huts, roads, resorts and hotels along the beach were damaged as the waves pounded them. Over 1,100 villages in West Bengal were submerged in floodwaters caused by storm surges, leaving an estimated 500,000 homeless. Cyclone Yaas ravaged West Bengal badly after cyclone Amphan which formed last year.

    As we all know that in recent time we have dealt with a lot of storms and cyclone . Our country is surrounded by water from all 3 sides . This increases the chances of our coastlines getting hit by tropical storms and cyclones . The recent storms were tauktae from the Arabian sea and yaas from bay of bengal . As I live in patna , the effect were noticible of both the cyclones . The tauktae didn't had much affect here but yaas definitely gave creeps . In Bihar the wind was around 120 km/hr to 140km/hr . The Times of India said the winds were between 60km/hr in Patna . Lots of property was destroyed . Tauktae had 169 fatalities and yaas had 20 . ]]>     2021-07-01 05:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smitasingh_dps/p90xkwi0e0rrgap2/wish/1632912612
