Mysuru: As predicted by the Indian Meteorological Department, it rained again in Mysuru yesterday evening and it was accompanied by lightning and thundershowers. While the showers provided some relief to Mysureans from the searing heat, it brought misery to several residents who had to battle water-logging, tree falling and power cuts.
Several people who were returning home from their workplaces were caught unawares as it started pouring at around 6.30 pm. While those having four-wheelers managed to reach home without getting drenched, the plight of two-wheeler riders and pedestrians was worse. They either had to stop at bus shelters or in front of shops to avoid getting drenched or wade their way through the traffic rush amidst wind and rain, jostling for space.
