The incident took place at 1.20 a.m. at south of Cherai Beach Junction. The victim, identified as Ambika, had been residing in the house along with her grandson Vishnudas. The house, erected using hollow bricks and having a thatched roof, could not withstand the heavy rain and gusty wind, which lashed the district on Sunday midnight. The victim’s son and other relatives have been staying in another house nearby. Hearing a loud noise when a wall collapsed on her, her relatives rushed to the spot and found her in the debris. Meanwhile, several houses and traditional fishing boats got damaged in the gusty wind that lashed the district coastline during the night. Three houses sustained partial damages while the bamboo-roof of a resort nearby had been blown off in the wind. Five traditional boats anchored on the Chathangad beach in Edavannakkad also sustained minor damages. People living along the coastal belt of Ernakulam district such as Chellanam, Pallippuram, Edavanakkad and Nayarambalam are under threat of sea attack since the onset of monsoon.
