Q. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1 When a storm with a wind speed of 92 kmph raged across Delhi, the first effect of it was be that
power went oti. The city witnessed power cuts from four to seven hours after several transmission
lines tripped due to the devastating winds blowing across the city. Calling discoms
clephone lines were jammed or even got broken down due to the storm several nomes.
power backup 100 went off due to such a long gap.
2 But the greatest danger came from the falling of roadside trees. Branches of trees tell like SEKS
crushing cars falling in their path. This was because several of these trees have now become old
and are unable to withstand the fury of the storm. Their crowns are now too broad to carry the
weight of their trunks. People too, were left in a state of utter shock. Activists and tree experts
blamed the falling of trees to the concrete choking trees around the city, leaving them weak from
inside. Also, the groundwater level is very deep and most of the trees cannot soak the rain water
as the concrer surround has blocked the entry of rainwater.
Another common casualty of the storm was the falling down of signages and scaffoldings on passing
traffic. In the bargain the storm brought a ton of bricks as the pillars of the top floor collapsed,
injuring people below. In another bizarre happening a woman flew off the terrace of the home
and lut a woman below. Road signages collapsed and fell on parhed cars.
4 The storm had been caused by a huger cumulonimbus cloud cell located over Delhi. The cell with
a height of 14 km, cut Delhi in half stretching from north-west to the north-east. South, southwest
and west Delhi areas fell in the tail end where the cloud managed to raise a lot of dust, but led
to strong winds. In the east, north east and northern parts, wind speed and squall was lower but
these areas recorded rain.
