Andhhra Coast

There were heavy rains, as coastal Andhra Pradesh waited hours for Cyclone Laila. Thursday evening when landfall happened at Bapatla, Laila was thankfully a little more mellowed than what was feared. With wind speed at over 100 km per hour, high tide and fear of flash floods, the administration wanted to take no chances.
