Cyclone Tauktae: Videos of huge waves crashing on the Gateway of India go viral
The clips surfaced online as Cyclone Tauktae wreaked havoc in several parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra, bringing heavy rains in states on the western coast.
Cyclone Tauktae, which made landfall in Gujarat between Diu and Una around 9 pm on Monday, wreaked havoc in other coastal towns and cities as well. Beyond Gujarat, the cyclone has affected parts of Maharashtra as well and a video of huge waves lashing onto Gateway of India in Mumbai is now going viral.
Among several scary videos doing rounds on social media, one of the waves crashing on the walls of the Gateway of India and the adjoining jetty have left people anxious online.
The video captured most likely from the Taj Mahal hotel near the iconic monument, showed fierce waves from the Arabian sea knocking off metallic barricades set up along the waters. Sounds of strong winds in the video too left many frightened online owing to nature’s fury.
