At least 800,000 people were evacuated from India’s eastern coast on April 30 as a cyclone moving through the Bay of Bengal is slated to make landfall later in the week.
Cyclone Fani is described as a Category 3 storm with 125 mph winds, according to the India Meteorological Department, which added that it is slated to bring heavy rains.
Forecast models show the storm is slated to track north before hitting the east coast. The effects of the storm will likely be felt starting on the night of May 2.
