It was around 7 in the morning. I was just in front of the World Trade Center (WTC), on the way to my office. It (wind) started slowly and gradually built up...
Never experienced such a wind ever before. I hold a lamp post to not be blown in the wind. It was very strong... even the lamp post started shaking... I knew something is wrong... ran and enter the WTC with all my energy... against the wind.
There were many places in Colombo being affected by the wind...and some houses being blown away...
According to the BBC, the annual monsoon rains have hit India's southern coast of Kerala, a week ahead of schedule. This definitely has effect on our small Island as well...
If you were blown away, I wouldn't be surprised by the houses :D
