Death of one person was confirmed officially due to the cyclone hit the area on Thursday; two others are still missing despite of search operation. According to police sorces the person who died was a 23-year-old man who was suffocated from smoke from a diesel-powered generator, he was using in a closed room as he sheltered from the storm.
Thankfully the category 5 monster didn’t cause the loss that was earlier expected. Officials were suprised that the death toll was not higher.
