Almost 200 people have been evacuated from those areas and people have been warned to move to safe places farther from the coast, but no casualties have been reported. Reports also say that huge waves crashed the walls of Nariman Point, Colaba, Worli, Bandhra, Haji Ali, Vikhroli, and Gorai in Mumbai, India.

The beauty of the whole thing was there were thousands of people who actually witnessed the natural phenomenon that occurred and they were really awed by what they actually saw, these done at a safe distance with the authorities on guard. Reports also say this might be because of the combination of the monsoon and the gravitational force of the moon. The authorities have warned the people of the high waves and about potential damage that could be caused because of these high waves. There are also hotline numbers given such that people can contact in case of emergency.
