The deep depression over north Andaman Sea has intensified into a cyclonic storm �Hudhud� which is mostly likely to intensify into a very severe cyclonic storm.
The cyclonic storm �Hudhud� lay centered about 1150 km southeast of Gopalpur. It was crossing Andaman and Nicobar Islands close to Long Island. Thereafter, the system would continue to move west-northwestwards intensify further into a severe cyclonic storm during the next 24 hours, subsequently into a very severe cyclonic storm.
The cyclonic storm would cross north Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Odisha coast between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur by October 12.
Last year, on October 12, a very severe cyclonic storm �Phailin� had hit Odisha coast at Gopalpur causing extensive damage.
