Tropische storm Ockhi
COLOMBO (Reuters) - A tropical storm has killed at least seven people and left five fishermen missing in Sri Lanka, bringing down trees across main roads and on houses, officials said on Thursday, warning of landslides and flooding in severely hit areas. Heavy winds hit the island’s southern, western and south-central areas.
“At the moment, there are reports of seven deaths, five missing, and more than 20,000 affected,” said Pradeep Kodippili, spokesman for the state-run Disaster Management Center. The government declared a holiday for schools in the rain-hit areas on Thursday.
Floods and landslides kill more than 200 people each year in Sri Lanka. Flash floods and landslides in May killed at least 122 people. The wettest time of the year in Sri Lanka’s south is usually from May to September.

Cycloon Ockhi mogelijk een bedrijging voor India
Cycloon Ockhi lijkt mogelijk een bedreiging te worden voor India komende week. Erg krachig zal de storm niet meer zijn volgens de verwachting tegen die tijd maar dat is nog realitief ver weg om met zekerheid te zeggen.
