The wind and rain combined drew warnings from the city police and Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray, asking the people not to venture outdoors. Photos and messages on Twitter gave glimpses of the damage, which encompassed tall cranes in the port area to sun shades flying off balconies, overturned cars on roads and falling trees.
