Cyclone Fani: Many families from Odisha flee to Visakhapatnam to escape havoc

The Hindu  

It is a virtual repeat of the Hudhud experience for residents of Bhubaneswar, Puri and Cuttack in the aftermath of extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani, which left a trail of destruction in the coastal areas of Odisha. While the wind speed recorded during Hudhud crossed 200 kmph, Fani triggered wind speeds of up to 190 kmph after making landfall near Puri on Friday. Just as several hundreds of people, who could afford it, fled to Vijayawada and Hyderabad from Visakhapatnanm to escape lack of electricity and water supply in October 2014 post-Hudhud, those with the means have now opted to rush from Odisha to Visakhapatnam and nearby places which remained unaffected by Fani. The Odisha Government struggled to supply of essential commodities and restore power and water supply in Bhubaneswar, Puri and Cuttack, the main commercial hub of the State.
