India cyclone death toll jumps as navy searches for dozens missing
178
MAHUVA, India, May 19, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – The number of fatalities from a major cyclone that slammed into India jumped to at least 91 on Wednesday as the navy searched for 49 people still missing, adding to the country’s woes as it suffered a record number of Covid-19 deaths.
Cyclone Tauktae, which pummelled the western coast late Monday and left a trail of destruction, was the latest in what experts say is a growing number of ever-bigger storms in the Arabian Sea because of climate change warming its waters.
The defence ministry said Wednesday that Navy ships had rescued more than 600 people after waves up to eight metres (26 feet) high hammered offshore oil installations.
