Hudhud snapped communication and power networks

• Odisha, which escaped the fury of Cyclone Hudhud, announced that it would extend help to districts of neighbouring north Andhra Pradesh. “As Visakhapatnam was terribly devastated, Andhra Pradesh government wanted Odisha to contribute in restoration efforts by deploying skilled manpower and equipment.
• Cyclone Hudhud snapped communication and power networks and damaged hangars and radar at the Eastern Naval Command headquarters at Visakhapatnam, but warships were able to withstand its impact. Sources said INS Circars suffered the most as the cyclone uprooted trees that fell on power and telephone lines.
