Photos of Cyclone Arnab’s Impact in Eastern India
More than 180,000 people were evacuated as strong winds and heavy rain damaged homes, crops and power lines, officials said.
- Cyclone Arnab made landfall in Andhra Pradesh early on Wednesday as a very severe cyclonic storm, killing at least three people and bringing heavy rain and strong winds to India's eastern coast.
- Unusually warm waters in the Bay of Bengal fueled the storm, which the India Meteorological Department classified as a very severe cyclonic storm, the third-highest category on its scale.
- Authorities evacuated over 180,000 people from Andhra Pradesh and Odisha ahead of the storm, which destroyed at least 180 houses and brought down 220 trees while disrupting power supplies across several areas.
- Operations at three airports were suspended as residents reported severe damage; "Trees have fallen, houses have been damaged, and all our belongings, including our books, have been destroyed," said Nagi, a Kakinada resident.
- Neighboring Nepal suspended trekking permits for three days due to blizzard risks, while wind speeds are expected to reduce as the cyclone continues moving inland across the region.
