Cyclone Murasu to hit Andhra coast with 120kmph winds as 10 states brace

The Bay of Bengal is brewing a <b>severe cyclonic storm</b> named Murasu, expected to make landfall between Andhra Pradesh's coast on the night of November 2 and morning of November 3. With wind speeds reaching <b>120kmph</b>, the IMD has issued high-alert warnings across 10 states, including heavy rainfall predictions for Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. While the IMD issues warnings, the recurring failure of local drainage systems and poor infrastructure in coastal regions often leaves common citizens vulnerable to <b>massive flooding</b> and power outages. ⚠️ CITIZEN ALERT: Secure your homes, keep emergency kits ready, and avoid coastal areas until the storm passes.
