Laila – The Younger Sister Of Aila

Laila made landfall as a storm… all the while, as she was moving over water, she was cyclone; making landfall, she was just a storm that made Hurricanes Katrina and Rita look like strong storms…

Coastal Andhra Pradesh, north-coastal Tamil Nadu (while she lived), and now West Bengal are feeling the after effects of that storm… raining just like that around the last week of May, that really cools down the summer in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta for those still not used to this local name)… West Bengal is feeling the heat of the storm… have we ever wondered what would happen if Laila was of Aila category? The devastation that would follow would be what – 2 levels below an F5 category hurricane… F5 being usually described as ‘The Hand of GOD’… That’s the kind of damage we are talking of here.
