I survived a cyclone in the middle of a Pandemic

It’s been a whirlwind, literally.

It’s been a whirlwind, literally.

I just survived a cyclone, in the middle of a pandemic.

I won’t lie. I personally had it much better than most people. There was so much death, destruction all in a single day. It was heartbreaking.

An entire day of storms, watching trees as old as me(I’m 20), sway around and finally fall to the ground. The winds, clouds, the shuddering glass. All of it was overwhelming, even though I was indoors.

Couldn’t help but think about all those people, sleeping under tarpaulin sheets, or houses made out of stolen bricks from a construction site.

The news spoke about the fishermen who got stuck at sea, the poor boy who got crushed under his collapsing house and I couldn't read any more of it.

I’ve lived in this city for 15 years, around 100 miles from the coast. But we’ve never had a cyclone before. As a joke, we’ve started calling these anomalies the Curse of 2020. But really got me thinking, why did we have a cyclone this year? I know its common in some part of the world, they happen every year. But why here? I live close to the Arabian Sea, which is on the west of the Indian Subcontinent. And apparently we haven't had a cyclone hit the west coast since 1948, that's over 72 years.

Turns out the answer is….Climate Change.

I wish it wasn’t I’m tired of hearing this correlation each time. But this is it again.

Climate Change Again…:(
