Cyclone Kyarr: High waves, strong undercurrents observed in Goa

Heavy rains accompanied by squally winds have battered Goa and much of the West Coast since Thursday as Cyclone Kyarr moves along the west coast. The weather along the coast has led to extremely rough sea conditions, high waves and strong undercurrents and tourists have been asked to avoid visiting the beaches, much less venturing into the sea. Ferry services connecting Goa's riverine islands have been suspended due to the high water levels leaving around 4,000 people cut off from the rest of the state until the situation improves.
