Odisha on Thursday stepped up its preparedness to brace for Cyclone
Hudhud, while the latest weather forecast suggested the cyclonic storm
would touch Andhra Pradesh coast around Vishakhapatnam on Sunday.
Met department officials said Cyclone Hudhud over east-central
Bay of Bengal moved west-northwestward and lay centred at 5.30 am about
770 km south-southeast of Gopalpur in Odisha’s Ganjam district.
“The system would continue to move west-northwestwards, intensifying further into a severe cyclonic storm during next 12 hours and into a very severe cyclonic storm during subsequent 24 hours. The system would cross north Andhra Pradesh coast around Vishakhapatnam by the forenoon of October 12,” a met department spokesperson said.
