What happened
Cyclone Arnab made landfall on October 28 between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam along the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coast, with sustained wind speeds around 130 kmph. The storm caused widespread destruction, including flooded homes and inundated agricultural fields in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. In Odisha, the cyclone brought incessant rain, resulting in 10 landslides. Search operations are ongoing in Odisha following a landslide that leveled houses in Gidipabali village, which has led to a death toll of five.
Why it matters
The cyclone caused significant destruction to infrastructure and agricultural fields in both Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. The resulting landslides and need for extensive search and rescue operations by the National Disaster Response Force and Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force increase resource utilization and operational costs for relief efforts.
A weather system is currently impacting shared coastlines across West Bengal, Bangladesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
