Mysuru, May 2 -- Heavy rains accompanied by gusty winds, which lashed across the city and surrounding places, brought down many trees besides flooding roads and low-lying areas on Wednesday night.

The rains, which started as a drizzle at about 10 pm, began to pour heavily resulting in many roads and circles including K.R. Circle getting flooded. It was a harrowing experience to motorists as wind and rains blinded them making it difficult for them to drive and ride.

Huge branches of trees broke and fell across the roads in some areas while many trees were uprooted in some localities. Small twigs along with roadside garbage floated with rainwater and got accumulated at the corner of roads adding to the miseries of motorists.

As heavy rai...
