Satellite Image of Cyclone Hudhud taken at 2:30 PM (IST), Today (8/10/2014)
The target of intensifying Cyclone Hudhud has changed slightly. It was earlier the Andhra-Odisha border at Dharmavaram. Now latest forecasts say the cyclone is going to hit Visakhapatnam head-on on October 12, 2014, Sunday morning. The winds then will be a howling 150 KPH, gusting up to a massive 185 KPH.
The effects will be felt in Pondicherry in the south and Bhubaneshwar in the north. But Vizag will face the brunt of the storm as the center of the storm is going to pass through it.
#CycloneHudhud is going to be a big storm. Just when it will be a few hundred kilometers from the coast (On Saturday, October 11, 2014) it will whip up winds of 175-225 Kph.But at the time of impact on Vizag, mercifully, the winds will have reduced to a 150-185 Kph.
The Americans would say it is a Category 2 tropical storm. Nothing to sneeze at.
