Sonny,
Luckily, I was living in a well built RCC house, though I did see my
neighbour's roof fly away, together with sundry coconut trees which had
taken to the air! I could not get out of my room for 24 hours, so I went
without food for a couple of days - I was not yet married at that time.This
was an agrarian area, in fact in the heart of India's rice basket, so the
villages were devastated to an extent you could not believe, till you had
seen it. Horrendous. The memory of those dead piled up to burn will live
with me till my dying days.
Cheers
Jayanand
