Following sharp showers for about half-an-hour to start with, the city received a steady drizle for the next two hours accompanied by thunder and lightning
Cool winds helped to bring down the mercury level by a few degrees, which continued through the night until dawn today.
Large-sized hoardings came down crashing at many places. One of them fell on a moving autorickshaw (KA 09 2436), causing injury to its driver Ravi and two passengers. The mishap took place near Vontikoppal temple. A number of electric lamp posts got bent and fell to the ground. Countless number of trees all over the city lost their huge branches as a result of the winds, affecting power supply.
Traffic was disrupted for nearly an hour on the stretch of KRS Road near Sri Lakshmivenkataramanaswamy Temple in Vontikoppal as the huge hoarding fell across the road. One of the traffic signal posts also got broken at the spot.
