Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Crush 15 Houses in Udupi District

Heavy rain and powerful winds struck Udupi district overnight, causing significant damage to residential areas. According to local authorities, 15 houses were smashed by the storm, leaving dozens of residents without shelter.

Weather officials noted that the monsoon system intensified unusually late in the season, bringing rainfall rates that exceeded normal patterns for the region. This event follows a series of cyclones that have battered Karnataka’s coast, raising concerns about future infrastructure resilience.

The damage to homes has left many families without basic amenities, and emergency teams are working to distribute blankets, food, and temporary housing. Local police and municipality officials have set up relief tents and are coordinating with district‑wide disaster response units. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
