On 6 October, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) began tracking a low-pressure area that formed over the Gulf of Thailand as a result of a cyclonic circulation. [3] On 7 October, the low-pressure area strengthened into a depression over the northern Andaman Sea. [4] It further strengthened into a deep depression later that day as it moved westwards. [5] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) also began tracking the system on 8 October, designating it as tropical cyclone 03B. [6] Later that day, it strengthened into Cyclonic Storm Hudhud before making its first landfall on Long Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. [7] Hudhud continued intensifying as it emerged into the eastern Bay of Bengal on 9 October [8] and intensified into a severe cyclonic storm later that day with a minimum three-minute sustained central pressure of 990 mbar (29 inHg). [9] Increased curved banding was also noted that day. [10]

On 10 October, Hudhud strengthened into a very severe cyclonic storm with a three-minute sustained central pressure of 984 mbar (29.1 inHg). [11] Early on October 11, Hudhud entered the radar range of Visakhapatnam while continuing to move northwestwards toward the coast of Andhra Pradesh. Curved banding increased and the appearance of an eye was noted. [12] Amid favorable conditions that day, Hudhud underwent rapid intensification, with a clearly visible eye as it approached northern Andhra Pradesh. Operationally, its central pressure at peak intensity was assessed by the IMD as 960 mbar (28 inHg). [13] In the post-cyclone report, it was reanalyzed to 950 mbar (28 inHg). [14] : 1, 7, 11, 65  It maintained its intensity as it stalled southeast of Visakhapatnam. [15] Hudhud made its second and final landfall near Visakhapatnam at peak intensity during the afternoon of 12 October. [16]

After moving over land, Hudhud weakened into a severe cyclonic storm [17] and then a cyclonic storm northwest of Visakhapatnam. [18] It weakened into a deep depression the following day over southern Chhattisgarh. [19] It further weakened into a depression that evening over central Chhattisgarh and persisted northward, degenerating into a low pressure area on 14 October over eastern Uttar Pradesh. [14] : 1, 6, 7  The weakening remnants of Hudhud then merged with an upper-level trough, resulting in an interaction over the Himalayas which produced a heavy amount of moisture. [20] : 89

On 9 October, the IMD placed areas of northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha under a heavy rainfall warning. [21] Across both states, 44 National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams and eight rescue teams were mobilized. Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed readiness and response efforts with high-ranking officials in a meeting on 11 October. [22] In Odisha, district officials were told to prepare kitchens and store dry food supplies. 10 Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) teams were sent out and preparations were made to evacuate those living in unsafe houses. [23] Panic buying also occurred in the state on 8 October. [24] Emergency response teams were mobilized to railways and Indian Railways considered rerouting or cancelling 75 trains in the South Central Railway zone. [25] In Andhra Pradesh, 111,000 people living in coastal districts were evacuated, 370 relief camps were readied, [26] and two months' worth of food was stocked. [24]

Strong winds left glass broken and debris strewn across roads in Visakhapatnam. [27] 70 per cent of the city's trees were destroyed. [28] Storm surge of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) was observed there, which wore down parts of the city's shoreline. [14] : 1, 36, 38  In Gantyada, 380 mm (15 in) of rain fell in the span of 24 hours on 12–13 October, the highest in the state. [14] : 1  Visakhapatnam Airport was damaged due to the cyclone, with a runway being flooded and its roof being torn off. All flights there had been suspended [29] and the airport did not operate from 11 to 17 October. [30] [31] Monetary damages to it were assessed to be near ₹5,000,000,000 (US$81.93 million). [32] [33] The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant lost power from 12–16 October, halting operations and resulting in an estimated loss of ₹3,500,000,000 (US$57.35 million). [34] [35]

The campus of Andhra University sustained widespread destruction; the roofs of all 16 canteens were stripped and the walls of six structures gave way. Offices inside the buildings were irreparably destroyed and large amounts of trees—estimated to be more than 90 per cent of the ones on the campus—were felled. On 14 October, The Hindu described the state of most "academic buildings" as "unapproachable". Damage was assessed to be near ₹2,370,000,000 (US$38.83 million). [36] [37] 1,000 m (3,300 ft) of surrounding walls and several enclosures were destroyed at the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park, [38] allowing some animals unrestricted movement. [39] Over 2,000 downed trees cluttered the facility, creating hindrances to navigation and harming animals. The zoo reopened on 11 November after the restoration of 65 enclosures and clearing of felled trees and debris. [38] [40]

Some residents traveling on highways were extricated by local police and NDRF members after getting trapped in their vehicles; the eye passed over National Highway 9. [27] 6,075.43 km (3,775.10 mi) of roads were affected, leaving 73 villages isolated for up to 2 days. [14] : 36–37  27,041 electric poles, 1,526 substations, and 7,300 transformers and substations were damaged. 1,110 fishing boats and 2,219 nets were lost. [14] : 37  The cyclone caused 46 deaths and 43 injuries in Andhra Pradesh. 2,446,532 livestock—2,831 larger animals and 2,443,701 poultry—also died. [14] : 36

In rural southern Odisha, 24 transformers were destroyed, 600 electricity poles were toppled, and 48,000 thatched homes were ravaged. 230,000 people were temporarily moved to shelters. [41] Out of the 247,557 hectares (611,730 acres) of crops that were affected, 40,484 hectares (100,040 acres) lost more than half of their contents. 670 livestock were killed. [42] : 25, 34  The Vamsadhara River crested at 55.28 m (181.4 ft) on 13 October near Kashinagar, above the danger level of 54.60 m (179.1 ft). [42] : 11  A maximum of 260 mm (10 in) of precipitation fell in R. Udayagiri in a 24-hour span on 12–13 October. [14] : 33  Three deaths occurred in Odisha due to the cyclone, while twelve others were injured. [42] : 34  [43] [44]

Elsewhere

In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Hudhud downed trees, forcing the closing of the Andaman Trunk Road on 8 October. [24] A total of 210 mm (8.3 in) of rain fell in Port Blair in a 24-hour span between 7–8 October. [14] : 31  Hudhud also caused extreme rainfall in Chhattisgarh, with 17 cm (6.7 in) in Manendragarh in 24 hours on 13–14 October. [45] [14] : 33  A house collapsed in Govindgarh, Madhya Pradesh amid torrential rainfall on the morning of 14 October, killing a family of three and injuring another occupant. [46] [47] In Uttar Pradesh, rainfall killed 18 and caused damage to homes and crops. [48] On 14 October in Lucknow, a record 61.1 mm (2.41 in) of rain fell, flooding multiple areas in the city. Accompanying strong winds damaged power lines, causing widespread power outages. Torrential rainfall in Bihar killed three and injured 50. [49] In West Bengal, Hudhud caused minimal damage. Hotels in coastal towns such as Digha were filled up by an influx of tourists who wanted to observe the cyclone. [50] The Sundarbans as well as a few districts in the state saw heavy rainfall. [51] Minor rainfall and flooding occurred in Bangladesh. [52]

On 14 October, the remnants of Hudhud caused severe avalanches and blizzards following a merger with an upper-level trough. [20] : 89  Four people were killed on Mount Annapurna, eight in Mustang district, and eight in Manang district. 14 injured climbers were airlifted to hospitals on 15 October. 43 were killed due to the snowstorms, with 21 of the fatalities coming from Mount Annapurna. [53] [20] : 89  By 18 October, 384 trekkers had been rescued from Mount Annapurna. [54] The mountain saw 1.8 m (5.9 ft) of snow in the span of 12 hours. On 19 October, the search for survivors ended, with close to 400 having been rescued. Many survivors were frostbitten following their rescue, requiring amputation of limbs. [55]

Aftermath

In Visakhapatnam, 12 NDRF teams worked to clean up fallen trees and debris on roads and 5,000 workers from power companies worked to restore electricity in the city on 14 October. [56] Higher temperatures in the city in the months following the cyclone caused a 60 per cent decrease in its bird population as they moved elsewhere or died. [57] Andhra Pradesh's chief minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, said that 70% of communications were down and urged residents to remain in their homes. [58] [59] To assist with relief efforts, 24 NDRF and 155 medical teams were sent to the affected areas. The Indian Navy led a military operation named Lehar to help citizens affected by Hudhud and placed 20 rescue teams in Visakhapatnam, while the Indian Army sent 25 rescue teams. The Indian Coast Guard sent 17 ships, and the Indian Air Force readied seven aircraft. [60] [61] Equipped with night glasses and other supplies, 300 members of the ODRAF worked on clearing uprooted large trees and poles from roads. [62] Naidu sought ₹20,000,000,000 (US$327.71 million) from the central government, while the government of Odisha sought ₹7,771,200,000 (US$127.34 million) and also requested a team to assess damages in the state. [63] [42] : 47  Inland fisheries in Dhubri, Assam benefited from increased hilsa catch as the fish were driven from the stormy ocean. [64] According to a United Nations report in 2015, Hudhud caused $11 billion in damages. [1]
