A higher than normal surge in sea level due to the dual impact of the very severe cyclonic storm Luban and high tide at noon, swamped most beach stretches along Goa’s coast on Wednesday, catching coastal communities and tourists by surprise. The high waves and unexpected surge of water caused some panic among tourism stakeholders and tourists. Some of the most popular beach spaces disappeared under water for a few hours.
Tourism stakeholders did not suffer any losses, but the flooding revived bitter memories of the damage they suffered during a similar episode in December 2017 due to Cyclone Ockhi, prompting some of them to dismantle their temporary structures.
