in the Vizag city

hudhud

brutally ravaged by cyclone

Hudhud

.
Indias east coast has been pounded by a powerful cyclone, Hudhud, with winds of up to 205km/h
(127mph).The cyclone has caused widespread damage to parts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha states,
The winds and heavy rains have damaged power lines and buildings and prompted the evacuation of
350,000 people from their homes.
.
After ducking the devastating eects of the 2004 tsunami and the 1977 cyclone, the `City of Destiny
sadly had its date with disaster on Sunday, 12th Oct 2014 when a very severe cyclonic storm Hudhud
tore through the city, unleashing widespread destruction and bringing the otherwise bustling city of
nearly 20 lakh people to a grinding halt.
.
The cyclone, that made landfall in the Port City around noon, sent hoardings and tin roofs ying like
saucers, sha ered windows leaving the streets li ered with glass shreds, toppled over statues of leaders
in many places as well as landmarks like the replica of the navy airplane on RK Beach. Scores of
electricity and telephone poles were knocked down and thousands of trees uprooted as strong gales
accompanied by heavy rainfall lashed the city right from Sunday morning to evening.Essential services
were disrupted and people remained indoors to escape natures fury.
.
With winds touching a speed of around 205 kmph during landfall, waves as high as two to three metres
surged along the Beach Road.
.
Cyclone Hudhud blasted the eastern seaboard today with gusts of up to 205 kilometres an hour (over
120 mph), uprooting trees, damaging buildings and killing three despite a major evacuation eort.
.
The port city of Visakhapatnam, home to two million people and a major naval base, was hammered as
the cyclone made landfall, unleashing the huge destructive force it had sucked up from the warm waters
of the Bay of Bengal.
.
In fact, it is perhaps for the rst time since the India Meteorological Department (IMD) was set up in
1891, that the Port City has found itself in the eye of such a storm.Even Phailin whizzed past the city on
October 12, 2013 without so much as a whimper. And while Met experts had been condent of the citys
unique topography protecting it yet again, Hudhuds ferocity left them ummoxed. The destruction
started hours before the landfall forcing denizens to remain indoors. Many of them could not come out
for hours. Vizag being a low-lying area ooding is a distinct possibility.

.
Y K Reddy, director in charge, IMD Hyderabad, said: Though Vizag does not witness too many
cyclones, no topography can actually protect a place from cyclone.Even Vizag has only hills and
hillocks, which can only protect it from a storm surge but not a cyclone with a height of roughly 10 km.
It may have been the local atmospheric conditions that a racted the cyclone towards Vizag.
.
With the discom Eastern Power Distribution Corporation of AP Ltd switching o power in the wee
hours of Sunday as a precautionary measure, the city was plunged into darkness and by afternoon
telecom links snapped as networks crashed and landline and cell phones blipped o. All ights in and
out of Vizag were suspended on Sunday due to the hostile weather conditions that reduced visibility to
near zero and destroyed the innards of the airport. Several trains passing through the city were
cancelled and road transport too came to a grinding halt as the National Highway-16 connecting
Chennai to Kolkata and passing through the Port City was shut down from Saturday evening and
people were advised not to venture out.
.
Operations at the crucial Eastern Naval Command were hit, with damage to the naval base, naval air
base INS Dega and residential quarters at Dolphin Nose hill. According to naval ocials, 12 ships were
on stand-by for evacuation and relief operations. Operations at ports like Visakhapatnam Port,
Gangavaram Port and PSUs like Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd and Hindustan Shipyard Ltd too were
suspended and property in these places damaged by the ravaging storm. This is the biggest disaster to
have ever hit Vizag. The blasting sounds of the wind are very scary. God knows how we will survive
this, said Kala Kumari, her voice shaking tremulously before the eye of the storm hit the city.
.
The situation in Vizag is very serious. Telecommunications have been completely disrupted, impacting
even our control room. Panicked people are calling up to nd out if they have to be evacuated, K
Hymavathi, AP special commissioner for disaster management, told mediapersons.
.
Cyclonic storm Hudhud which wreaked havoc in north coastal Andhra has also damaged
Visakhapatnam Airport, snapping the air connectivity with this port city. Along with power and phone
lines, the Visakhapatnam airport is also out of service. Sundays 200kmph winds of Cyclone Hudhud
has virtually blown o its roof and wreaked havoc inside.
.
While ocials were unable to come out with a picture of the damages in the Port City, they said it
would take weeks for Andhra Pradeshs largest city to get back on its feet after the unprecedented blow.
.
Prime Minister Marendra Modi Modi undertook an aerial survey of the aected areas , Cheif Minister of
AP Chandra babu Naidu visted the cyclone hit areas to witness the devastation and oversea the relief
operations.

.
Pawan Kalyan also visited Vizag to express his solidarity and support apart from domnating 50 lakhs
rupess.
.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an interim relief assistance of Rs 1,000 crore to Andhra
Pradesh after personally reviewing the massive devastation caused by Cyclone Hudhud in the state. He
also announced a compensation of Rs two lakhs to the kin of those killed and Rs 50,000 for those injured
in the calamity.
.
I want to announce an interim assistance of Rs 1,000 crore to Andhra Pradesh. After a detailed survey,
we will give whatever further assistance is required, he said.
.
He assured the state governments of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh that the central government will
extend all possible help to them.
.

Hudhud crashes Vizags nascent IT dreams

.
The swanky building of the Vizag Startup Village, which was thrown open amid much fanfare less than
a fortnight ago by Naidu himself, was a picture of destruction as its glass faade was blown to
smithereens by cyclone Hudhud.
.
What makes the tragedy worse is that the Startup Village, which is nothing but the new avatar of what
was initially mooted as an incubation centre years ago by the previous regime, had managed to get o to
a start only on September 29 this year, raising hopes of replicating the success story of Kochi Startup
Village in Vizag, which has always lived in the shadow of Hyderabad. But this is not the only reason
why the a empts of the AP government to reboot the IT sector in Vizag have received a major setback.
The cyclone also ravaged the oces of most of the IT rms located at the picturesque Rushikonda IT
Park.
.
Some industry sources feel that the cyclone may have dented Vizags image as a safe IT destination and
put paid to the Naidu governments eorts to pitch the scenic Rushikonda as the most beautiful IT Park
in the country .

Many of the IT oces on Hill nos. 2 and 3 have been badly damaged and are expected to take days to be
back on their feet as most IT oces have glass frontages that could not withstand the high wind speeds
of around 195 kmph that rocked the city . The oces of companies like IBM, Symbiosys Technologies
and Softsol at the Rushikonda IT Park have been hit badly , informed sources told TOI. While IBM
ocials were unavailable for comment, sources said it would be dicult for them to run operations due
to lack of power, fuel and communication networks.
.
Sans power supply , even IT rms that have not suered any damage, have been forced to undergo
productivity losses as they had to shut shop till the situation improves. Even in companies where
operations are partially on due to alternative power supply through gensets, many employees are
unable to report to work due to petrol shortage in the city, said an IT industry source. We are trying to
get operations up and running. The internet service guys have no clue when they can get the networks
running even if we have the capability to start operations. We are losing mobile connectivity frequently
, said Deepak Madala, Vizag IT Association President.
.
What has irked the industry more is that despite the pro-IT noises being made by the present Chan
drababu Naidu regime, none of the ocials has even bothered to visit them.
.
Nobody has even bothered to check the status of the IT hills, be it GVMC, EPDCL or any of the
ministries. We have no power or communication lines available for running operations. Things can come
back to normal only after water and power supply are restored, said Rushikonda IT Park Association
vice-president O Naresh Kumar.
