PANAJI: A 45-minute thunderstorm in the early hours of Thursday that left most of the state in darkness and damaged crops and properties gave a slight scare later in the night as heavy gusts hit the state again. Heavy spell of rain innundated residential areas with a wall collapse reported from Curchorem.
Winds up to 60 kmph uprooted trees that injured one person when a branch fell on him at
Dramapur, while an 80-yearold woman died at
Porvorim while trying to collect coconuts from a canal near her house.
A huge signboard crashed across the highway, near the KTC bus stand in Margao, early Thursday morning.
