Cyclone Hudhud pounded the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha with heavy rain and winds of almost 200 kmph on Sunday leaving eight people dead and a trail of devastation with Visakhapatnam where the very severe storm made landfall bearing the brunt.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has asked the Centre to declare cyclone Hudhud as a national calamity and also sought an ad hoc relief package of Rs.2,000 crore.

The cyclone is similar to last year's Phailin that crossed the Odisha coast leaving behind a trail of destruction.
