India's financial capital, Mumbai, has largely escaped a cyclone that barrelled through the country's western coast, despite early forecasts indicating possible destruction in the dense city of 18 million. Cyclone Nisarga was initially forecast to be the first storm of its kind to batter Mumbai since 1948, prompting citizens to stay off the streets and secure their homes against gale-force winds and torrential rain. Fears were compounded by the cyclone's potential to wreak havoc on a city already hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
