Heavy rain lashes Sivakasi

Heavy rains, accompanied by strong wind, thunder and lightning lashed Sivakasi town, today, at evening from 07:45 p.m. to 09:00 p.m. The drains were overflowed and the roads remained flooded for some hours. Rainy onslaughts leave several roads damaged, in Sivakasi. Several low-lying areas in the town were inundated after the incessant heavy rain. Several trees were uprooted in the strong winds that preceded the rains. The super rain not only chilled Sivakasi grounds but also filled the water tanks of Sivakasians. The downpour brought cheers for Sivakasians, once again. And still rain continues. The heavy downpour and thunderstorms increased the water inflow to Periyakulam, Sirukulam Kanmai and other water reservoirs in Sivakasi. It is expected that Northeast monsoon rain will give significant inflow of water to Periyakulam and Sirukulam Kanmai and enable Sivakasians to over overcome the water crisis in the next summer. A few spells of rain are expected for next ten days in Sivakasi town. The non stop heavy downpour was a bit of surprise for Sivakasians.
