At least three people were killed as powerful cyclone Hudhud slammed into India’s eastern coast Sunday. More than 350,000 people living along the coast have been evacuated. The impact of the severe cyclone was first felt in Visakhapatnam, a major naval base in Andhra Pradesh state and in surrounding villages, as winds packing speeds of nearly 195 kilometres per hour uprooted trees and billboards, snapped power cables, and led to the suspension of air, bus and train services.
Those in the path of the storm huddled indoors throughout the day as it battered the region, with heavy rain and storm surges in many areas. Several deaths were blamed on a wall collapse and falling trees.
