Cyclone Titli is expected to hit the coastlines of Odisha in India. There has been mass evacuation of 3 lakhs people across the coastlines. The last two cyclones were really devastating for the state. Hopefully this one goes with minimal damage.
Prayers for all those who come in way of the cyclone.

@arunima25 Evacuating people must be a logistical nightmare for the authorities.

I am in a different state far from it and so safe. We might just get some extra showers. Prayers are for people on the coastline who are coming on the way.

It was so scary to see the devastation in Hong Kong. It seemed like some visual appeals used in those movies. I was shaken.

I observed that typhoons now are more wrath the the previous. It could be climate change.

Went with less damage than expected. 7 lives lost and hundred of families are homeless. Evacuation in time was a good step.

@arunima25 Any life lost is still a shame. I hope the homes can be rebuilt soon. It must be awful for those poor people.
