WATCH India’s most powerful CYCLONE in two decades batter its coast
Over a million people in India have been evacuated from the path of monstrous tropical cyclone Fani, which made landfall in the country on Friday. Authorities are poised for the worst, as winds are predicted to reach over 200 kph.
The armed forces and the coast guard have been placed on full alert as the “extremely severe cyclonic storm” began battering eastern India’s Odisha coast. Gust winds of up to 195 kph were recorded by early Friday morning, India’s Meteorological Department said, as authorities warned of flooding, fallen trees, and large-scale destruction.
The scene outside my home. One of these trees has just been uprooted, & the brunt of #CycloneFani (now lashing Puri, Konark, Chilika) is still more than an hour away from here!
Praying for the safety of all, my team & i remain ready to assist with rescue & relief operations
