Introduction to the Lesson
The story gives an account of the storm that hit the coastal town of Ersama in Odisha state in the year 1999. A young boy Prashant faced the fury of the storm and reached his village. The details of how he worked hard to help the villagers overcome the devastation caused by the storm inspire us to have courage and a positive approach towards life.
Lesson and Explanation
ON 27 October 1999, seven years after his mother’s death, Prashant had gone to the block headquarters of Ersama, a small town in coastal Orissa, some eighteen kilometres from his village, to spend the day with a friend. In the evening, a dark and menacing storm quickly gathered. Winds beat against the houses with a speed and fury that Prashant had never witnessed before. Heavy and incessant rain filled the darkness, ancient trees were uprooted and crashed to the earth. Screams rent the air as people and houses were swiftly washed away. The angry waters swirled into his friend’s house, neck deep. The building was of brick and mortar and was strong enough to survive the devastation of the wind’s velocity of 350 km per hour. But the cold terror of the family grew with the crashing of trees that had got uprooted and fallen on their house, some time in the middle of the night, damaging its roof and walls.
Menacing: dangerous and harmful
Fury: extreme strength
Incessant: unceasing, continuous
Ancient: old
Rent: filled
Swirled: moved or flowed along with a whirling motion

Prashant was a native of a village in the coastal state of Odisha. On 27 October 1999, he was on a visit to a friend in Ersama which is a small town in Odisha and a block headquarter in Jagatpura district. His village was at a distance of eighteen kilometers from Ersama. He had lost his mother seven years ago. That day, a strong storm gathered in the evening. Furious wind accompanied by continuous rain lashed the place. Screams could be heard as trees got uprooted and destroyed the houses as they fell on them. The water flowed with gush and swept away houses that came in its way.

There was neck deep water in his friend’s house. As his house was a pucca house, it was able to resist the strong winds which blew at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. His friend’s family was terrorised because in the middle of the night, trees had fallen on the house, damaging the roof and walls of the building.
The crazed destruction wrought by the cyclone and the surge of the ocean continued for the next thirty-six hours, although wind speeds had reduced somewhat by the next morning. To escape the waters rising in the house, Prashant and his friend’s family had taken refuge on the roof. Prashant will never forget the shock he experienced at his first glimpse of the devastation wrought by the super cyclone, in the grey light of the early morning.
Surge: gush
Refuge: shelter
Wrought: produced as a result of something
