Mumbai Safe from Cyclone Phyan

By , About.com Guide   November 12, 2009

Follow me on:

Lucky for Mumbai, Cyclone Phyan weakened considerably and was a no-show. It was a little disappointing after all the hype, but a very good thing for the city. Today, the sky is bright, clear, and sunny again in Mumbai. There's no hint of yesterday's looming threat at all.

Maharastra's Konkan coast, particularly Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg, suffered the worst of the cyclone. A total of 1,500 houses were damaged, and four people killed. Fortunately, many missing fishermen managed to find their way safely back to shore, after the cyclone weakened in the sea.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department in Pune, the cyclone was the first one to pass through the region in 43 years!
