community wire –
It has been raining heavily for over an hour. Due to the rains, the gutters began to overflow. There was water everywhere on the trail. The city was soon flooded. Rainwater leaked into the store. The line of street vendors exploded. In the low-lying areas of Shahupuri and Laxmipuri, only one cable blew out at night due to water intrusion into houses. It almost rained to get home. As usual, MSEDCL cut the power when the wind picked up. This forced me to spend time in the dark. Trees fell in some parts of the city. This caused traffic problems.
Caveat –
Thunderstorms with thunderstorms and gusts up to 30-40 kmph are expected in parts of Sangli and Kolhapur districts. Please take precautions when leaving home in Ratnagiri in the next 3-4 hours. Such a warning has been given by IMD.
