Summary
The storm uprooted thousands of trees, damaged hundreds of electric poles, and destroyed several fishing boats, disrupting the livelihoods of many coastal families.
Government authorities and rescue teams evacuated around four hundred families before landfall, preventing further loss of life.
Heavy rainfall caused flooding and stranded vehicles on highways, but the storm is expected to weaken to a cyclonic storm by noon and become a deep depression by midnight.
Meteorologists will continue to monitor the weather for any further heavy showers.
