Cyclone Dana made a destructive landfall on the coasts of Odisha and West Bengal late Thursday night, unleashing powerful winds and heavy rains that led to the uprooting of trees and blocking of roads. As the cyclone barreled through the Bay of Bengal, it brought wind speeds of up to 120 kmph, wreaking havoc across the coastal towns, particularly in Puri, where officials described the destruction as severe.
