Several areas in and around Colombo sustained significant damage last night (May 29) as strong winds swept through the city, toppling trees and disrupting traffic movement.
Large trees were reported to have fallen along the Colombo–Galle Road, especially between Kollupitiya and Wellawatte, with similar incidents also occurring in other parts of the city, including Grandpass.
In one of the most severe incidents, a massive tree collapsed on St. Joseph’s Road in Grandpass, causing damage to at least six nearby houses.
No casualties have been reported.
