The centre, it should be remembered, passed westwards near the 

 northern boundaries of Sambalpore and Raipore and thence across the 

 centre of the Balaghat, Seoni, Chindwara, and Hoshangabad districts. It 

 will thus be seen that the rainfall was distinctly heaviest at some distance 

 to the south of the path of the centre, and that the rainfall in the 

 northern half of the cyclonic area was barely twenty-five per cent, of the 

 amount received in the southern half.
