Monsoons begin on a destructive note

article image placeholderUploaded by @Karan.Dev
Hey, swell. So the monsoons are well and truly here in Mumbai, and there is an impending cyclone which is likely to strike the city at some point today, while it's been raining heavily, there's been a lot of initial destruction production. So I just wanted to share this image of some cars which were unfortunately parked in the wrong area and an entire building collapsed onto these cars

@sudha- no casualties luckily 🙏

So Suda, this was one of the oldest structures in Bombay, and I think they were expecting it to collapse and it just took, I guess usually these things happen every monsoon. But this happened a lot quicker than people expected. So luckily, there was no one in the building because it was an office complex and people are at home because of the lockdown. But what's scary is that apparently there was someone standing very close to the cars and he was brutally injured
