A severe cyclonic storm is set to slam India’s west coast, home to major refineries and ports, prompting authorities already grappling with a savage second virus wave to evacuate people and patients to safer areas.
Cyclone Tauktae, equivalent of a category 3 hurricane, will hit the Gujarat state on Monday evening, with wind speed seen surging as high as 185 kilometers (115 miles) per hour, according to the India Meteorological Department.
The “extremely severe cyclonic storm,” which was about 145 kilometers away from the financial hub of Mumbai by midday, may bring heavy rainfall to the affected regions, damage houses and disrupt electricity supply, it said.
