Bhubaneswar: As cyclone Fani made landfall on the Odisha coast wreaking havoc on Friday, dramatic visuals have surfaced showing a crane falling on houses.

The video, which is doing the rounds on social media, shows the impact of strong gales and heavy rain.

It shows how the crane next to what looked like an under-construction building starts tilting towards the right and falls on nearby houses. It is believed that the houses on which the crane fell had no residents.

Watch the horrific video here:

At least three people have been killed as Cyclone Fani or the 'Hood of Snake' battered Odisha. The casualties were reported from Puri, Nayagarh and Kendrapara districts.

The Odisha administration had evacuated around 11 lakh people two days prior to the cyclone from around 10,000 villages and 52 urban agglomerations. It is believed to be the largest evacuation exercise during a natural calamity in India.

Cyclone centres have been made to accommodate the evacuees.

In the wake of the landfall, telecommunication lines got cut in various parts of Bhubaneswar and other areas. The power supply was disconnected, mobile towers were damaged extensively, roads were blocked, and scores of trees collapsed.
