THE MONSTROUS : PHAILIN
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Phailin is a violent tropical cyclone currently threatening the eastern coast of India. Originating from an area of low pressure over the Andaman Sea in early October 2013, Phailin slowly consolidated into a depression on October 8. The depression gained forward momentum and attained gale-force winds on October 9 and was designated as Cyclonic Storm Phailin, becoming the second storm of the season. Phailin is now forecasted to intensify further in the next two days, and make landfall over north Andhra Pradesh and Odishacoasts at peak strength. IMD says that it would hit India's Eastern Coast on the night of October 12.[1]
In early October 2013, a tropical depression formed over the Gulf of Thailand. The depression dissipated on October 6 and its remnants crossed the Kra Isthmus on October 7, entering the Andaman Sea.[2] Under the influence of an upper air cyclonic circulation, the remnants regenerated into a low pressure area over the Andaman Sea and adjoining Tanintharyi region and gradually intensified into a depression on October 8, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA).[3] [4] The following day the depression intensified further, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to upgrade the system into a Deep Depression.
As intensification continued on October 9, the JTWC commenced issuing warning bulletins and classifying the storm a Tropical Cyclone, and the IMD designated it a Cyclonic Storm, naming it Phailin. The next day, rapid intensification ensued, and Phailin jumped to very severe cyclonic storm status, the first since Cyclone Thane hit southern India in 2011. The JTWC upgraded the storm to a strong Category 3 tropical cyclone, with wind speeds of over 185 km/h (115 mph).[5]
In the wake of the storm, and its potential intensity at landfall, the IMD issued a cyclone warning for the coasts of north Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, advising fishermen not to venture in the sea. In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, it is expected to cause heavy damage to thatched huts and Breaking of tree branches causing minor damage to power and communication lines.[1]
Odisha
The Odisha government issued a high alert to the districts of Balasore, Bhadrak, Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Puri, Khurda, Nayagarh, Jobra Ganjam and Gajapati; and cancelled the Dussheraholidays of employees of these districts, asking them to ensure safety of people. Food and relief materials were stocked-up at storm shelters across the state.[6] Distant storm warning signal was raised to two at the ports of Paradip and Gopalpur.[7]
