Severe Cyclone Murasu Approaches Andhra Pradesh Coast, Prompting Multi-State Preparations
Cyclone Murasu, named after a Tamil percussion instrument, intensified into a severe cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal and is forecast to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast near Ongole between late November 2 and early November 3. Authorities in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and neighboring states have issued alerts, evacuated vulnerable populations, and deployed disaster response teams. Preparations include power restoration support from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, school closures, and transport disruptions. The cyclone follows closely after Cyclone Arnab, complicating ongoing recovery efforts.
