Two coconut trees and a branch of a banyan tree came crashing down on a house at Cavelossim, causing a loss of Rs 2.5 lakh to the owners of the house. The continuous downpour and strong winds brought down 60 trees across the state in a 12-hour period.
At Succoro, a huge tree came crashing down on several parked cars. 'A tree fell on five cars because of the rain. Four cars suffered minor damages, but the fifth one's windshield was damaged,' said Ramakant Tamoskar.
