Recordist's notes
The mic is located on my rooftop under a tin shed. This is a typical stormy and rainy day in summer. Storm is quite common in summer. If the depression on Bay of Bengal is massive then it turns into cyclones. Every year this city face two to three cyclones, which are sometimes really massive and destructive.
