From the creator

At least three people were killed, dozens of houses damaged and crops destroyed as a powerful cyclone struck India's eastern coast from the Bay of Bengal on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, authorities said. Cyclone Arnab, classified by the India Meteorological Department as a very severe cyclonic storm – the third-highest category on its scale – made landfall in Andhra Pradesh state early on Wednesday, with its centre then moving fully inland, the agency said. Heavy rain and high winds destroyed at least 180 houses, brought down 220 trees and disrupted power supply in several areas, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said in a letter to federal Home Minister Amit Shah, updating him on the situation. Two of the deaths were caused by a tree falling and electrocution, officials in Naidu's office told Reuters.
