Worried about what. I live in bhubaneswar too. Last year phailin created such a hoopla but nothing happened except for electricity down for 2 days. That's what im most worried about.

Yes, your State Govt. assisted and co-ordinated by National Disaster Management ,along with Govt. of India(Central) is fully prepared. It seems according to meterologists,that the impact will be severe on Vishakapatnam.

Do you have any ideas how many lives are lost in that ? I dont care if your comment was to be taken lightly or sarcasm but someone had to say it.. Making fun on a forum is okay, but , you just crossed the line

And sometimes people just get it the wrong way, or want to. Don't exaggerate the matter.

Everyone knows how much loss a natural calamity does! I meant a totally different thing, from a totally different perspective! Jeez!!

As per news it's taking a rather huge shape at 150-180 km/h and will hit coastal areas of Odisha, and slightly affect W.B too, but main affected area will be Visakhapattanam (pardon spelling mistake).

No, that's why I am sad. I mean slight disturbance might occur, but nothing major. If it did occur here the damages will be way, way less than where it's targeted to affect. Only slight loss will be of CESC's :lol:

Friend take care of yourself and Family.

Pray to Lord Jagannath, HE will save all of you.
Remember 1999,super cyclone? Puri bore the wrath, but was not devasted ,problem was of aftermath...shortage of food,water. Miscreants and some common people went for a looting spree not for MONEY but for FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think your locality might get heavy rainfall,not more than that. Even if Hudhud's path crosses your locality, it will become an ordinary depression by that time...it will lose much of its energy/power.

Its over in Bhubaneswar. And this time it was a uneventful affair. The rainfall has subsided and electricity went out for hardly 20 mins.

True, we just witnessed wind speed of 10-20 kmph and intermittent heavy rainfall lasting not more than 5-10 mins. No damage apart from broken twigs and small branches of trees. No loss of life reported near our region, still 1 casualty has been found in outskirts of kendrapara.

Was in Visakhapatnam last year for 3 months, great city with wonderful beaches and hills and well planned roads. It's unfortunate they had to face such days. Hopefully damages were minimal and condolences for the people who lost their lives and belongings.
