Hudhud Cyclone :
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Hudhud was the second strongest tropical cyclone
of 2014 within the North Indian Ocean, as well as the most destructive tropical cyclone in the basin since Nargis in 2008.
Hudhud
originated from a low pressure system that formed under the influence of an
upper-air cyclonic circulation in the Andaman Sea on October 6. Hudhud intensified into a
cyclonic storm on October 8 and as a Severe Cyclonic Storm on October 9. Hudhud
underwent rapid deepening in the following days and was classified
as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm by the IMD. Shortly before landfall near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on October 12, Hudhud reached its peak
strength with three minute wind speeds of 175 km/h (109 mph) and a
minimum central pressure of 960 mbar (28.35 in Hg). The system then
drifted northwards towards Uttar Pradesh and Nepal, causing
widespread rains in both areas and heavy snowfall in the latter.
Hudhud
caused extensive damage to the city of Visakhapatnam and the neighbouring
districts of Vizianagaram and Srikakulam of Andhra Pradesh. Damages
Damages are
estimated to be at least 70,000 Crore with
assessments still underway. At least 109 deaths have been confirmed, a majority
of them from Andhra Pradesh and Nepal, with the latter experiencing
an avalanche due to the cyclone.
