Many families were forced to evacuate their homes on Sunday as seawater rushed into the residences in the districts of Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, and Thrissur. According to officials, residents of the impacted areas were moved to relief camps on Sunday night. Experts indicated that the huge tidal waves along Kerala's coast were caused by a phenomenon known as "Kalla Kadal."
Fishermen refer to the exceptional occurrence of big swell waves during favourable weather conditions as "Kalla Kadal." Weather specialists claim that storms from as far away as the Antarctic region can cause the occurrence. Remote forcing occurs when a swell comes into contact with a coastal current after travelling thousands of miles across the ocean basin.
