“My city is an example that we bloom with grace no matter how stormy the times be. The evening sky!” wrote a Twitter user and shared a glimpse of the sky.

Several others also shared images from different areas of the city and they show the beautiful face of nature post the scary one.

“Bhubaneswar skies be the best. Cyclone Amphan gone forever,” wrote a Twitter user while sharing this image:

“Purple sky makes everything seem magical. This bliss is sprinkled by our almighty after the cyclone passed,” wrote yet another.

Check out what people tweeted:

Barrelling in from the Bay of Bengal, Amphan entered through northern Odisha before ripping through West Bengal. It’s the strongest cyclone to have originated from the Bay of Bengal in decades.

NDRF teams are working to ensure all possible assistance to people in the areas affected by the cyclone.
