Even though the worst has passed away, take care chaps. Nature's fury can never be predicted.

Wats the latest from WB ... did it even touch Calcutta or did it go hammer our poor lil neighbor ??

it went straight towards bangladesh - only parts of coastal bengal, parts of sunderban area in bengal were touched - but nothing severe.

it just rained a bit in Kolkata along with chilly wind. today it didnt even rain - but it is cloudy.

the govt started the evacuating yesterday but after 3pm IIRC.
