An extremely severe cyclone is expected to hit the coasts of Odisha today. Other states on the east coast like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamilnadu might also experience the outcome of this massive cyclone. Suresh Prabhu, the Civil Aviation Minister is constantly showing concern and all the airlines are alerted to deal with relief and rescue operations.

Fani is expected to be one of its kind in Odisha which has not experienced something like this in a very long time.

According to the morning Tweet, Cyclone Fani is 540 km from Odisha coast and is moving northwards with a speed of 5 km per hour since the last six hours. We just hope that all peace remains intact in Odisha.
