Tropical Cyclone Hudhud, only the second named cyclone in the northern Indian Ocean this season, brought devastation to India over the past several days.
The powerful cyclone moved onshore Sunday morning near Visakhapatnam, one of the largest cities on India's eastern coast.
Through Sunday evening local time, Visakhapatnam was drenched with over 150 millimeters (6 inches) of rainfall.

The heavy rain has led to flooding across portions of eastern India, and more flooding is expected as Hudhud traverses through northern India and into Nepal.
While coming onshore, Hudhud brought wind speeds of 195 kph (120 mph). Many trees were unable to withstand the power of the cyclone and were brought down in the storm's wrath. Power has been cut to thousands of people across the region.
