Cyclone Murasu makes landfall on India's east coast
Cyclone Murasu made landfall in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh during the early hours of Tuesday, bringing wind gusts of up to 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). The severe cyclonic storm came ashore near Ongole in the Prakasam district, uprooting thousands of trees and damaging electricity poles and crops across the region's coastal areas.
As a precautionary measure, authorities closed schools and colleges in at least eight districts. India's Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall over the next 12 hours but expects the storm to weaken throughout the day. The cyclone is projected to be downgraded to a cyclonic storm by noon and further into a deep depression by Tuesday midnight.
